Abstract
Resonant reflection of a Bose-Einstein condensate by a double delta-function barrier has been considered analytically using the Gross-Pitaevskii approximation for nonlinearity. The reflection coefficient has been derived taking into account a weak nonlinearity of the Schrödinger equation produced by the interaction between cold alkali atoms. Nonlinear term is given in the limit of asymptotically weak interaction and zero temperature. The one-dimensional potential is approximated by two repulsive delta-function barriers. The analytical solution was obtained for the reflection coefficient using a multiple-scale analysis in order to remove secular terms. The most interesting case corresponds to the condensate energies for which reflection is absent without nonlinear term. Thus, reflection is determined only by the nonlinearity. The reflection coefficient is derived in the first order on the nonlinearity parameter.
