At What Temperature Do 5000 Na Atoms Form a Bose-Einstein Condensate?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on determining the temperature at which 5000 sodium (Na) atoms form a Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) within a spherical cloud of 2mm diameter. The participants emphasize the importance of effort in seeking assistance, indicating that a deeper understanding of quantum mechanics and statistical physics is necessary to solve this problem. The specific conditions for BEC formation, including temperature thresholds and atomic density, are critical for accurate calculations.

PREREQUISITES

Hi i tried in the other section with no luck.
Let me try here if there are anyone here that can help me.

the question is:

Suppose one catches in 5000-Na atoms in a spherical-shaped cloud with diameter of 2mm.
And suppose that the atoms are uniformly distributed in that sphere.
At what temperature will one get the Bose Einstein Condensation.


Thanks
