[181]. The optimum configuration in terms of size and regularity is achieved after
500 ms. For times shorter than that, regular order is not completely established, and a
blurry structure is formed because of the misalignment of some vortices with respect to
the rotation axis. For times much longer than 500 ms, inelastic collisions induce atom
losses and a decrease in the number of vortices.
Several experiments have studied the nucleation of vortices in a BEC stirred by a
laser beam. In one experiment [ 182], vortices ...
