Abstract

‘We study the condensate fluctuation and several statistics of weakly interacting attractive Bose gas of 7Li atoms in harmonic trap. Using exact recursion relation we calculate canonical ensemble partition function and study the thermal evolution of the condensate. As 7Li condensate is associated with collapse, the number of condensate atom is truly finite and it facilitates to study the condensate in mesoscopic region. Being highly correlated, we utilize the two-body correlated basis function to get the many-body effective potential which is further used to calculate the energy levels. Taking van der Waals interaction as interatomic interaction we calculate several quantities like condensate fraction N, root-mean-square fluctuation δn0 and different orders of central moments. We observe the effect of finite size on the calculation of condensate fluctuations and the effect of attractive interaction over the noninteracting limit. We observe the depletion of the condensate with increase in temperature. The calculated moments nicely exhibit the mesoscopic effect. The sharp fall in the root-mean-square fluctuation near the critical point signifies the possibility of phase transition.
