Bragg scattering of Cooper pairs in an ultra-cold Fermi gas

Abstract
We present a theoretical treatment of Bragg scattering of a degenerate Fermi gas in the weakly interacting BCS regime. Our numerical calculations predict correlated scattering of Cooper pairs into a spherical shell in momentum space. The scattered shell of correlated atoms is centered at half the usual Bragg momentum transfer, and can be clearly distinguished from atoms scattered by the usual single-particle Bragg mechanism. We develop an analytic model that explains key features of the correlated-pair Bragg scattering, and determine the dependence of this scattering on the initial pair correlations in the gas.
Manuscript substantially revised. Version 2 contains a more detailed discussion of the collisional interaction used in our theory, and is based on three-dimensional solutions
