Abstract

We demonstrate that Bragg scattering from a condensate can be sensitive to the spatial phase distribution of the initial state. This allows preferential scattering from a selected spatial region, and provides a robust signature for a vortex state. We develop an analytic model which accurately describes this phenomenon and we give quantitative predictions for current experimental conditions.
