Abstract

We propose a new theoretical formalism which describes the Bose Einstein condensation of weakly interacting bosons with finite life time interacting with a thermal bath. We show that if a quasi-thermal distribution function of particles is achieved, the elementary excitations of the condensate show a linear spectrum characteristic of a superfluid, with a renormalized sound velocity with respect to the equilibrium case.
