Vortex nucleation and arrangement in a stirred Bose-Einstein condensate
Abstract
We present a study of the dynamic generation of vortices at zero temperature from a trapped condensate initially at rest by means of optical stirrers, as used in the recent MIT and ENS experiments.Our main focus will be on factors affecting vortex production and their subsequent arrangement.
