The Non-universal behaviour of Cold Fermi Condensates with Narrow Feshbach Resonances

Abstract

In this paper we construct an effective field theory for a condensate of cold Fermi atoms whose scattering is controlled by a narrow Feshbach resonance. We show how, from first principles, it permits a hydrodynamic description of the BEC-BCS crossover from which the equation of state, intimately related to the speed of sound, can be derived. Specifically, we stress the non-universal behaviour of the equation of state at the unitary limit of infinite scattering length that arises when either, or both, of the range of the inter-atomic force and the scale of the molecular field become large.

7 pages, there is no differences in results between this (v2) and the older version (v1), but v2 makes the nature of the non-canonical behavior of the EOS clearer
