The first problem is strictly beyond mean field: From the Bethe ansatz solution we extract the internal correlation function of the particle positions in the quantum soliton, that is for a fixed center of mass position. The second problem is solved in the limit of a large number of particles, where the mean field theory is asymptotically correct: It deals with the number of excitations created by the opening of the trap, starting from a pure soliton in a weakly curved harmonic potential.12 pages; 2 figures added ; a few typos correctedOther Condensed MatterInternal structure of a quantum soliton and classical excitations due to trap openingtext
