Finite temperature excitations of an inhomogneous trapped Bose gas with Feshbach resonances

Abstract

We derive and discuss the temperature dependance of the condensate and noncondensate density profile of a Bose-Einstein condensate gas with Feshbach resonance in a parabolic trap. These quantities are calculated self-consistently using the generalized Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov (HFB) equations within the Bogoliubov approximation. At zero temperature, the HFB equation can be solved by means of a variation method that give the low excitation spectrum. Moreover, within the two-body collision theory, we estimate the relationship between the atom number and the external magnetic field $B$, it is in good agreement with the data in recent experiments.
