Collective Excitations of a Trapped Bose-Condensed Gas

We investigate the low energy excitations of a dilute atomic Bose gas confined in a harmonic trap of frequency ${\ensuremath{\omega}}_{0}$ and interacting with repulsive forces. The dispersion law $\ensuremath{\omega}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}{\ensuremath{\omega}}_{0}({2n}^{... View More
