Feshbach resonance in dense ultracold Fermi gases
arXiv:cond-mat/0302209 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.91.120401
Abstract
We propose a coherent framework allowing to deal with many-body effects in dense ultracold Fermi gases in the presence of a Feshbach resonance. We show that the simple effect of Pauli exclusion induces a strong modification of the basic scattering properties, leading in particular to an energy dependence of the effective scattering length on the scale of the chemical potential. This results in a smearing of the Feshbach resonance and provides a natural explanation for recent experimental findings.
