费米气体在BEC-BCS交叉中的非弹性碰撞

Inelastic Collisions of a Fermi Gas in the BEC-BCS Crossover

X. Du, Y. Zhang, J. E. Thomas

摘要:

我们测量了$^6$ Li的二组分费米气体的非弹性三体和两体碰撞衰变率,这些衰变率被泡利不相容原理高度抑制。我们的测量是在BEC-BCS交叉制度,附近的两体碰撞(Feshbach)共振。在高温(能量)的数据显示了一个占主导地位的三体衰变过程,这是作为偏置磁场的函数进行研究。在低能量下,数据显示在费什巴赫共振附近和以下两体和三体衰变过程共存。在共振以下,所观察到的两体非弹性衰变可以由分子-原子和分子-分子碰撞引起。我们认为,在共振和以上,一个有效的两体衰变率产生的原子和相关(库珀)对,可以存在于足够低的温度之间的碰撞。

英文摘要:

We report the measurement of inelastic three-body and two-body collisional decay rates for a two-component Fermi gas of $^6$Li, which are highly suppressed by the Pauli exclusion principle. Our measurements are made in the BEC-BCS crossover regime, near the two-body collisional (Feshbach) resonance. At high temperature (energy) the data shows a dominant three-body decay process, which is studied as a function of bias magnetic field. At low energy, the data shows a coexistence of two-body and three-body decay processes near and below the Feshbach resonance. Below resonance, the observed two-body inelastic decay can arise from molecule-atom and molecule-molecule collisions. We suggest that at and above resonance, an effective two-body decay rate arises from collisions between atoms and correlated (Cooper) pairs that can exist at sufficiently low temperature.
