Correlations of a quasi-two-dimensional dipolar ultracold gas at finite temperatures

We study a quasi-two-dimensional dipolar gas at finite, but ultralow, temperatures using the classical field approximation. The method, already used for a contact interacting gas, is extended here to samples with a weakly interacting long-range interatomic potential. We present statistical properties of the system for the current experiment with chromium [Muller, Billy, Henn, Kadau, Griesmaier, Jona-Lasinio, Santos, and Pfau, Phys. Rev. A 84, 053601 (2011)] and compare them with statistics for atoms with larger magnetic dipole moments. Significant enhancement of the third-order correlation function, relevant for the particle losses, is found. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.87.043620
