✦ Synopsis

The spectrum of light scattered from a Bose-Einstein condensate is studied in the limit of particle-number conservation. To this end, a description in terms of deformed bosons is invoked and this leads to a deviation from the usual predict spectrum's shape as soon as the number of particles decreases.
