چکیده

We investigate fermion pairing in the unitary regime for a mass ratio corresponding to a ;{6}Li-;{40}K mixture using quantum Monte Carlo methods. The ground-state energy and the average light- and heavy-particle excitation spectrum for the unpolarized superfluid state are nearly independent of the mass ratio. In the majority light system, the polarized superfluid is close to the energy of a phase separated mixture of nearly fully polarized normal and unpolarized superfluid. For a majority of heavy particles, we find an energy minimum for a normal state with a ratio of approximately 3ratio1 heavy to light particles. A slight increase in attraction to k_{F}a approximately 2.5 yields a ground state energy of nearly zero for this ratio. A cold unpolarized system in a harmonic trap at unitarity should phase separate into three regions, with a shell of unpolarized superfluid in the middle.

Implications of CKM Unitarity

Three generation CKM Unitarity in the Standard Model predicts |Vud |2 + |Vus| + |Vub| = 1. Nuclear, K`3 and b → u decays currently give |Vud |2 + |Vus| + |Vub| = 0.9991(8). The good agreement between theory and experiment can be used to constrain “new physics” effects at the tree and quantum loop level. Examples considered are: exotic muon decays, heavy quark or lepton mixing, high scale induce...

Curing the Ills of Higgsless Models: the S Parameter and Unitarity

We consider various constraints on Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking based on a bulk SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1)B−L gauge group in warped space. First we show that the S parameter which is positive if fermions are localized on the Planck brane can be lowered (or made vanishing) by changing the localization of the light fermions. If the wave function of the light fermions is almost flat t...

Momentum distribution and ordering in mixtures of ultracold light- and heavy-fermion atoms

The momentum distribution is one of the most important quantities which provides information about interactions in many-body systems. At the same time it is a quantity that can easily be accessed in experiments on ultracold atoms. In this paper, we consider mixtures of lightand heavy-fermionic atoms in an optical lattice described effectively by the Falicov-Kimball model. Using a Monte Carlo me...

Dynamical mean-field theory for light-fermion–heavy-boson mixtures on optical lattices

We theoretically analyze Fermi-Bose mixtures consisting of light fermions and heavy bosons that are loaded into optical lattices ignoring the trapping potential . To describe such mixtures, we consider the Fermi-Bose version of the Falicov-Kimball model on a periodic lattice. This model can be exactly mapped onto the spinless Fermi-Fermi Falicov-Kimball model at zero temperature for all paramet...
