Item Measurements of Collective Collapse in a Bose-Einstein Condensate with Attractive Interactions(American Physical Society, 1999) Sackett, C.A.; Gerton, J.M.; Welling, M.; Hulet, R.G.The occupation number of a magnetically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate is limited for atoms with attractive interactions. It has been predicted that, as this limit is approached, the condensate will collapse by a collective process. The measured spread in condensate number for samples of Li7 atoms undergoing thermal equilibration is consistent with the occurrence of such collapses.
