Inelastic collisions of solitary waves in anisotropic Bose–Einstein condensates: sling-shot events and expanding collision bubbles

We study experimentally and theoretically the dynamics of apparent dark soliton stripes in an elongated Bose–Einstein condensate. We show that for the trapping strengths corresponding to our experimental setup, the transverse confinement along one of the tight directions is not strong enough to arre...
