Interference Pattern Formation between Bounded-Solitons and Radiation in Momentum Space: Possible Detection of Radiation from Bounded-Solitons with Bose-Einstein Condensate of Neutral Atoms

We propose an indirect method to observe radiation from an incomplete soliton with sufficiently large amplitude. We show that the radiation causes a notched structure on the envelope of the wave packet in the momentum space. The origin of this structure is a result of interference between the main body of oscillating solitons and the small radiation in the momentum space. We numerically integrate the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and perform Fourier transformation to confirm that the predicted structure really appears. We also show the simple model which reproduces the qualitative result. Experimental detection of the notched structure with Bose-Einstein condensation of neutral atoms is discussed and suitable parameters for this detection experiment are shown.
