Shock waves in ultracold Fermi (Tonks) gases

arXiv:cond-mat/0306394 · doi:10.1088/0953-4075/37/5/L01

Abstract

It is shown that a broad density perturbation in a Fermi (Tonks) cloud takes a shock wave form in the course of time evolution. A very accurate analytical description of shock formation is provided. A simple experimental setup for the observation of shocks is discussed.
