Bose–Einstein condensation of an imperfect Bose gas using cluster expansion

Abstract

Bose–Einstein condensations (BEC) for an ideal Bose gas and an imperfect Bose gas are presented using cluster expansion method by using a new generating function obtained by Ushcats. The saturation density is calculated from the known values of virial coefficients for both ideal and uniform hard-sphere imperfect Bose gas. The values of saturation densities are found for some experimentally observed Bose–Einstein condensates and the fractional shift in the saturation densities are also calculated using this method, which are found to be positive.
