Abstract

The behavior of a trapped atomic gas undergoing a Bose-Einstein condensation is strongly influenced by the attractive interaction between particles. The role played by such an interaction is analyzed by means of a variation method. The critical number of atoms for a metastable state to exist is determined. The aspect ratio of condensed bosons in an anisotropic trap, the loss rate of atoms, and the excitation spectrum are studied. The vortex state is discussed.
