Abstract

We formulate a method to study two-body correlations in a condensate of N identical bosons. We use the adiabatic hyperspheric approach and assume a Faddeev like decomposition of the wave function. We derive for a fixed hyperradius an integro-differential equation for the angular eigenvalue and wave function. We discuss properties of the solutions and illustrate with numerical results. The interaction energy is for N~20 five times smaller than that of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
