Tomographic RF Spectroscopy of a Trapped Fermi Gas at Unitarity
Abstract
We present spatially resolved radio-frequency spectroscopy of a trapped Fermi gas with resonant interactions and observe a spectral gap at low temperatures. The spatial distribution of the spectral response of the trapped gas is obtained using in situ phase-contrast imaging and 3D image reconstruction. At the lowest temperature, the homogeneous rf spectrum shows an asymmetric excitation line shape with a peak at 0.48(4)εF with respect to the free atomic line, where εF is the local Fermi energy.
