Dynamic structure factor of Fermi superfluid in the BECBCS crossover.pdfVIP

Dynamic structure factor of Fermi superfluid in the BEC-BCS crossover Tarun Kanti Ghosh Institute for Theoretical Physics, Heinrich-Heine Duesseldorf University, 40225, Duesseldorf, Germany (Dated: February 1, 2008) We consider cigar shaped Fermi superfluid in the BEC-BCS crossover. Using polytropic form of equation of state, we derive low energy multibranch bosonic excitations and the corresponding density fluctuations in three different regimes along the crossover, namely weak-coupling BCS, unitarity and molecular BEC regimes. Bragg spectroscopy can be used to probe the multibranch nature of the low energy bosonic excitations by measuring dynamic structure factor. Therefore, we 7 calculate dynamic structure factor in those three different regimes. In the Bragg spectroscopy, an 0 actual observable is momentum imparted to the superfluid due to the Bragg potential. We also 0 present results of the momentum imparted to the superfluid due to the Bragg pulses. 2 PACS numbers: 03.75.Ss,03.75.Kk,32.80.Lg l u J 6 I.
