Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 050403 (2001) [4 pages]Measurement of One-Particle Correlations and Momentum Distributions for Trapped 1D GasesReceived 19 December 2000; published 11 July 2001 Van Hove’s theory of scattering of probe particles by a macroscopic target is generalized so as to relate the differential cross section for atomic ejection via stimulated Raman transitions to one-particle momentum-time correlations and momentum distributions of 1D trapped gases. This method is well suited to probing the longitudinal momentum distributions of 1D gases in situ, and examples are given for bosonic and fermionic atoms. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
