Resonance scattering of atoms on a two-component BEC — •Michael Grupp, Reinhold Walser, Gerrit Nandi, and Wolfgang P. Schleich — Abteilung für Quantenphysik, Universität Ulm, Germany

In this contribution we investigate the scattering properties of identical particles on a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) [1,2] with two internal states, trapped in a one-dimensional potential of finite depth. We calculate the phase shifts by determining the Boguliubov excitation spectrum and study in-elastic scattering processes. Our special interest is the investigation of discrete states embedded in the continuum. Here, a phenomenon analogous to Fano and Feshbach resonances [3,4] occurs.
