CRITICAL TEMPERATURE OF DIRTY BOSONS

    Abstract:

    We consider a dilute Bose gas moving in a harmonic trap with a superimposed frozen random potential which arises in experiments either naturally in wire traps or artificially and controllably with laser speckles. The critical temperature, which characterises the onset of Bose-Einstein condensation, depends on the disorder realization within the ensemble. Therefore, we introduce an effective grand-canonical potential from which we determine perturbatively the disorder averages of both the first and the second moment of the critical temperature in leading order. We discuss our results for a finite number of particles by assuming a Gaussian spatial correlation for the quenched disorder potential.
