| dc.description.abstract | Bose - Einstein Condensation, BEC, of an ideal gas is investigated for a finite number of particles trapped in a harmonic potential. The values of the critical temperature for Rb-87, its condensate fraction and the energy per particle are determined. The maxima appear to increase with the number of particles due to the fact that a smaller system has a larger available effective volume which concurs with the behavior of the critical temperatures. | en_US |
