We show that strong pairing correlations in Fermi gases lead to the appearance of a gap-like structure in the RF-spectrum, both in the balanced superfluid and in the normal phase above the Clogston-Chandrasekhar limit. The average RF-shift…
We investigate pair correlations in trapped fermion and boson gases as a means to probe the quantum states producing the density fluctuations. We point out that "opposite sign correlations" (meaning pair correlations that are positive for…

Recent experiments have observed condensation behavior in a strongly interacting system of fermionic atoms. We interpret these observations in terms of a mean-field version of resonance superfluidity theory. We find that the objects…
We consider trapped atomic Fermi gases with Feshbach-resonance enhanced interactions in pseudogap and superfluid temperatures. We calculate the spectrum of RF(or laser)-excitations for transitions that transfer atoms out of the superfluid…
Interacting fermions are ubiquitous in nature and understanding their thermodynamics is an important problem. We measure the equation of state of a two-component ultracold Fermi gas for a wide range of interaction strengths at low…
We report the observation of a pairing in a number polarized two-component gas of atomic fermions. Beyond a critical polarization, the gas separates into a superfluid paired core surrounded by a shell of normal unpaired fermions. The…
Ultracold atomic gases with short-range interactions are characterized by a number of universal species-independent relations. Many of these relations involve the two-body Tan contact. Employing the canonical ensemble, we determine the Tan…
Experiments with cold Fermi atoms can be tuned to probe strongly interacting fluids that are very similar to the low-density neutron matter found in the crusts of neutron stars. In contrast to traditional superfluids and superconductors,…
