Abstract: We present the results of Bragg spectroscopy performed on an accelerating Bose-Einstein condensate. The Bose-Einstein condensate undergoes circular micromotion in a magnetic time-averaged orbiting potential trap and the effect of this motion on the Bragg spectrum is analyzed. A simple frequency modulation model is used to interpret the observed complex structure, and broadening effects are considered using numerical solutions to the Gross-Pitaevskii equation.
