Abstract

The main idea in the present work is the definition of an experimental proposal for the detection of the number of extra{compact dimensions contained as a core feature in String Theory. This goal will be achieved as a consequence of the fact that the density of states of a bosonic gas does depend upon the number and geometry of the involved space{like dimensions. In particular our idea concerns the detection of the discontinuity of the specific heat at the condensation temperature as a function of the number of particles present in the gas. It will be shown that the corresponding function between these two variables defines a segment of a straight line whose slope depends upon the number of extra{compact dimensions. Resorting to some experiments in the detection of the specific heat of a rubidium condensate the feasibility of this proposal using this kind of atom is also analyzed.
