We study the expansion of an atomic Fermi gas interacting attractively with a Bose-Einstein condensate. We observe a slower evolution of the radial-to-axial aspect ratio which reveals the importance of the mutual attraction between the two samples during the first phase of the expansion. For large atom numbers, we also observe a bimodal momentum distribution of the Fermi gas, which reflects the spatial distribution of the mixture in trap. This effect allows us to extract important information on the overlap of the two species across the collapse.

Abstract

We study the expansion of an atomic Fermi gas interacting attractively with a Bose-Einstein condensate. We observe a slower evolution of the radial-to-axial aspect ratio which reveals the importance of the mutual attraction between the two samples during the first phase of the expansion. For large atom numbers, we also observe a bimodal momentum distribution of the Fermi gas, which reflects the spatial distribution of the mixture in trap. This effect allows us to extract important information on the overlap of the two species across the collapse.
