Dimer Photodissociation in the Presence of a Degenerate Fermi Gas
ORAL
Abstract
We explore the effects of the presence of a degenerate Fermi gas on the photodissociation spectrum of a weakly bound dimer. For a dimer made up of fermionic atoms identical to those in the Fermi gas, Pauli-blocking effects reduce the available decay states for the dimer. This can lead to a narrowing of the width of the dimer photodissociation spectrum. We calculate such dissociation spectra and discuss applications to current experiments.
