Bragg scattering of light in a strongly interacting trapped Fermi gas of atoms
Abstract
We study Bragg scattering of laser light by trapped Fermi atoms having two hyperfine spin components in the unitarity-limited strongly interacting regime at zero temperature. We calculate the dynamic structure function of the superfluid trapped Fermi gas in the unitarity limit. Model calculation using local density approximation shows that, the superfluid pairing gap in the unitarity limit is detectable from the measurements of dynamic structure function by Bragg spectroscopy, while in the weak-coupling BCS limit, the gap eludes such spectroscopic detection.
