Description

In this paper we consider a quantum particle moving through dilute Bose-Einstein condensate at zero temperature. In our formulation the impurity particle interacts with the gas of uncoupled Bogoliubov's excitations. The perturbation theory for the Green's function of the impurity particle with respect to the impurity-condensate interaction is constructed by employing the coherent-state path integral approach. The perturbative expansion for the Green's function is resumed into the expansion for its self-energy part with the help of the diagrammatic technique developed in this work. The dispersion relation for the impurity clothed by condensate excitations is obtained and effective mass is evaluated beyond the Golden rule approximation
