Beliaev damping of quasi-particles in a Bose-Einstein condensate

Abstract
We report a measurement of the suppression of collisions of quasi-particles with ground state atoms within a Bose-Einstein condensate at low momentum. These collisions correspond to Beliaev damping of the excitations, in the previously unexplored regime of the continuous quasi-particle energy spectrum. We use a hydrodynamic simulation of the expansion dynamics, with the Beliaev damping cross-section, in order to confirm the assumptions of our analysis.
