Nonlinear BEC Dynamics Induced by Harmonic Modulation of Atomic s-wave Scattering Length — •Ivana Vidanović1, Antun Balaž1, Hamed Al-Jibbouri2, and Axel Pelster31Scientific Computing Laboratory, Institute of Physics Belgrade, University of Belgrade, Pregrevica 118, 11080 Belgrade, Serbia — 2Institut für Theoretische Physik, Freie Universität Berlin, Arnimallee 14, 14195 Berlin, Germany — 3Fachbereich Physik, Universität Duisburg-Essen, Lotharstrasse 1, 47048 Duisburg, Germany

In the recent experiment [1], a Bose-Einstein condensate of 7Li has been excited by a harmonic modulation of the atomic s-wave scattering length via Feshbach resonance. Combining an analytical perturbative approach with numerical simulations we analyze the resulting nonlinear dynamics of the system on the mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii level. Our detailed results show the presence of higher harmonics and mode coupling. Most importantly, we also find significant shifts of the collective modes frequencies in the resonance region which are due to the nonlinearity of the system dynamics. Finally, we indicate how these frequency shifts could be measured in a future experiment.
