Fluctuation statistics of mesoscopic Bose-Einstein condensates: reconciling the master equation with the partition function to reexamine the Uhlenbeck-Einstein dilemma

The atom fluctuation statistics of an ideal, mesoscopic, Bose-Einstein condensate are investigated from several different perspectives. By generalizing the grand canonical analysis (applied to the canonical ensemble problem), we obtain a self-consistent equation for the mean condensate particle numb...
