Density and Temperature of Bosons from Quantum Fluctuations

preprint2011arXivOpen access

Abstract

A method to determine the density and temperature of a system is proposed based on quantum fluctuations typical of Bosons in the limit where the reached temperature T is close to the critical temperature TcT_c for a Bose condensate at a given density ρρ. Quadrupole and particle multiplicity fluctuations relations are derived in terms of TTc\frac{T}{T_c}. This method is valid for weakly interacting infinite and finite Boson systems. As an example, we apply it to heavy ion collisions using the Constrained Molecular Dynamics (CoMD) approach which includes the Fermi statistics. The model shows some clusterization into deuteron and αα clusters which could suggest a Bose condensate. However, our approach demonstrates that in the model there is no Bose condensate but it gives useful informations to be tested experimentally. We stress the differences with methods based on classical approximations. The derived 'quantum' temperatures are systematically higher than the corresponding 'classical' ones. The role of the Coulomb charge of fragments is discussed.
