Refractive Index of BEC: Exploring Its Potential for X Rays and Gamma Rays

[God Plays Dice]

Does a BEC still have a very large refractive index for X Ray's and gamma rays?

 

[M Quack]

The refractive index for x-rays and gamma rays depends essentially only on the electron density. As BECs are just very cold gasses with a not so high density, the refractive index will be very close to 1, just as for any other gas.
