  We study a system represented by a Bose-Einstein condensate interacting with
a cavity field in presence of a strong off-resonant pumping laser. This system
can be described by a three-mode Gaussian state, where two are the atomic modes
corresponding to atoms populating upper and lower momentum sidebands and the
third mode describes the scattered cavity field light. We show that, as a
consequence of the collective atomic recoil instability, these modes possess a
genuine tripartite entanglement that increases unboundedly with the evolution
time and is larger than the bipartite entanglement in any reduced two-mode
bipartition. We further show that the state of the system exhibits genuine
tripartite nonlocality, which can be revealed by a robust violation of the
Svetlichny inequality when performing displaced parity measurements. Our exact
results are obtained by exploiting the powerful machinery of phase-space
informational measures for Gaussian states, which we briefly review in the
opening sections of the paper.
