Bragg spectroscopy and pair-breaking-continuum mode in a superfluid Fermi gas
arXiv:1911.10950
Abstract
The superfluid, pair condensed spin-1/2 Fermi gases are supposed to exhibit at nonzero wave vector a still unobserved collective excitation mode in their pair-breaking continuum. Using BCS theory at zero temperature and in the long wavelength limit, we predict that this mode is quantitatively observable (in frequency, width and spectral weight) in the response of a cold atom gas to a laser Bragg excitation, if one measures the perturbation induced on the order parameter modulus rather than on the density.
