Kelvin Modes of a fast rotating Bose-Einstein Condensate
Using the concept of diffused vorticity and the formalism of rotational
hydrodynamics we calculate the eigenmodes of a harmonically trapped
Bose-Einstein condensate containing an array of quantized vortices. We predict
the occurrence of a new branch of anomalous excitations, analogous to the
Kelvin modes of the single vortex dynamics. Special attention is devoted to the
excitation of the anomalous scissors mode.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
