Abstract
We study the anisotropic, elliptic expansion of a thermal atomic Bose gas
released from an anisotropic trapping potential, for a wide range of
interaction strengths across a Feshbach resonance. We show that in our system
this hydrodynamic phenomenon is for all interaction strengths fully described
by a microscopic kinetic model with no free parameters. The success of this
description crucially relies on taking into account the reduced thermalising
power of elastic collisions in a strongly interacting gas, for which we derive
an analytical theory. We also perform time-resolved measurements that directly
reveal the dynamics of the energy transfer between the different expansion
axes.

The current recommendation prototype on the Apollo Repository will be turned off on 03 February 2023. Although the pilot has been fruitful for both parties, the service provider IKVA is focusing on horizon scanning products and so the recommender service can no longer be supported. We recognise the importance of recommender services in supporting research discovery and are evaluating offerings from other service providers.
