Abstract

Damping in a dilute Bose gas is investigated using a mean-field approximation which describes the coupled oscillations of condensate and non-condensate atoms in the collisionless regime. Explicit results for both Landau and Beliaev damping rates are given for non-uniform gases. In the case of uniform systems we obtain results for the damping of phonons both at zero and finite temperature. The isothermal compressibility of a uniform gas is also discussed.
