Degenerate Fermi Gases in a Box Potential

Objective

This research project will precisely reveal details of the pairing process for Fermions in a strongly-coupled Fermi gas. The notion of pairing is a fundamental cornerstone in many physical phenomena (e.g. superconductivity); however, especially in the case of strongly-coupled Fermi gases, many open questions still persist.

Within the project, we will be able to clarify and test the theoretical concepts such as the pseudogap, pre-formed pairs and pairing fluctuations. These measurements will be realized by u sing the recently developed method of radio-frequency (RF) spectroscopy to determine the single particle excitation spectrum in a homogeneous gas of fermionic atoms.

The homogeneity of the gas, achieved by confining it to a novel optical box trap, will boost the sensitivity of the RF method to its full potential.
