Achieving a BCS transition in an atomic Fermi gas
L. D. Carr, G. V. Shlyapnikov, Y. Castin
We consider a gas of cold fermionic atoms having two spin components with interactions characterized by their s-wave scattering length . At positive scattering length the atoms…

Limits of sympathetic cooling of fermions by zero temperature bosons due to particle losses
L. D. Carr, T. Bourdel, Y. Castin
It has been suggested by Timmermans [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 240403 (2001)] that loss of fermions in a degenerate system causes strong heating. We address the fundamental limit…
