Generating Solitons in a Bose Einstein Condensate — •J. Denschlag, J. E. Simsarian, D. L. Feder, J. Cubizolles, L. Deng, E. W. Hagley, K. Helmerson, S. L. Rolston, and W. D. Phillips — National Institute of Standards and Technology, Gaithersburg, MD 20899, USA

Using a novel phase imprinting method we create solitons, being the first experimental realization of this non-linear phenomenon in a BEC. The subsequent evolution of the solitons was investigated both experimentally and theoretically.
