Bose-Einstein condensation of hard sphere homogeneous gas in static fluctuation approximation

Abstract

The condensation fraction, transition temperature, and energy per particle for a hard sphere interacting homogeneous Bose gas using the static fluctuation approximation have been determined. The transition temperature at liquid helium density has been found to be lower than that for the noninteracting gas. Both superfluidity and the Bose-Einstein condensation have been found to occur at the same transition temperature. Our results are consistent with results obtained by other methods.
