Abstract
The spectrum of light scattered from a Bose gas is studied in the limit of large detuning. At low density the spectrum is a direct replica of the velocity distribution of the atoms. In a degenerate gas the spectrum may acquire extra structure, reflecting the Bose-Einstein statistics of the atoms. In the presence of a Bose condensate a characteristic two-peak spectrum develops.Keywords
