Abstract
We propose an indirect method for observing radiation from an incomplete soliton with a sufficiently large amplitude. We show that the radiation causes a notched structure on the envelope of the wave packet in the momentum space. The origin of this structure is the interference between the main body of oscillating solitons and the small radiation in the momentum space. We numerically integrate the nonlinear Schrödinger equation and perform Fourier transformation to confirm that the predicted structure really appears. We also show a simple model which reproduces the qualitative result. The experimental detection of the notched structure with the Bose-Einstein condensation of neutral atoms is discussed and suitable parameters for this detection experiment are shown.
