Dark Continuum in the Spectral Function of the Resonant Fermi Polaron
Physical Review A
(2016)
Abstract
We present controlled numerical results for the ground state spectral function of the resonant Fermi polaron in three dimensions. We establish the existence of a "dark continuum"---a region of anomalously low spectral weight between the narrow polaron peak and the rest of the spectral continuum. The dark continuum develops when the s-wave scattering length is of the order of the inverse Fermi wavevector, a≲1/kF, i.e. in the absence of a small interaction-related parameter when the spectral weight is not expected to feature a near-perfect gap structure after the polaron peak.
