Scattering Resonances in a Degenerate Fermi Gas

Abstract

We consider elastic single-particle scattering from a one-dimensional two-component trapped superfluid Fermi gas when the incoming projectile particle is identical to one of the confined species. Our theoretical treatment is based on the Hartree-Fock ground state of the trapped gas and a configuration-interaction description of the excitations. We determine the scattering phase shifts for the system and predict Fano-type scattering resonances that are a direct consequence of inter-atomic pairing. We describe the main characteristics of the scattering resonances and make a comparison with the results of BCS mean-field theory.
