The mathematical theory of resonant transducers in a spherical gravity wave antenna
The rigoruos mathematical theory of the coupling and response of a spherical
gravitational wave detector endowed with a set of resonant transducers is
presented and developed. A perturbative series in ascending powers of the
square root of the ratio of the resonator to the sphere mass is seen to be the
key to the solution of the problem. General layouts of arbitrary numbers of
transducers can be assessed, and a specific proposal (PHC), alternative to the
highly symmetric TIGA of Merkowitz and Johnson, is described in detail.
Frequency spectra of the coupled system are seen to be theoretically recovered
in full agreement with experimental determinations.Comment: 31 pages, 7 figures, LaTeX2e, \usepackage{graphicx,deleq
Emergence of turbulence in an oscillating Bose-Einstein condensate
We report on the experimental observation of vortices tangle in an atomic BEC
of Rb-87 atoms when an external oscillatory perturbation is introduced in the
trap. The vortices tangle configuration is a signature of the presence of a
turbulent regime in the cloud. We also show that this turbulent cloud has
suppression of the aspect ratio inversion typically observed in quantum
degenerate bosonic gases during free expansion. Instead, the cloud expands
keeping the ratio between their axis constant. Turbulence in atomic superfluids
may constitute an alternative system to investigate decay mechanisms as well as
to test fundamental theoretical aspects in this field.Comment: accepted for Phys. Rev. Let
