Abstract :
Summary form only given. We present many-atom dipole-dipole interaction in an ensemble of ultracold Rb atoms strongly coupled to the standing-wave field of a weakly driven high-finesse optical cavity. The many-atom light force changes the spatial distribution of the atoms, creating an asymmetry in the usually symmetric normal-mode spectrum.
