Density response of a trapped Fermi gas: a crossover from the pair vibration mode to the Goldstone mode
We consider the density response of a trapped two-component Fermi gas.
Combining the Bogoliubov-deGennes method with the random phase approximation
allows the study of both collective and single particle excitations.
Calculating the density response across a wide range of interactions, we
observe a crossover from a weakly interacting pair vibration mode to a strongly
interacting Goldstone mode. The crossover is associated with a depressed
collective mode frequency and an increased damping rate, in agreement with
density response experiments performed in strongly interacting atomic gases.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figure
Fast trimers in one-dimensional extended Fermi-Hubbard model
We consider a one-dimensional two component extended Fermi-Hubbard model with
nearest neighbor interactions and mass imbalance between the two species. We
study the stability of trimers, various observables for detecting them, and
expansion dynamics. We generalize the definition of the trimer gap to include
the formation of different types of clusters originating from nearest neighbor
interactions. Expansion dynamics reveal rapidly propagating trimers, with
speeds exceeding doublon propagation in strongly interacting regime. We present
a simple model for understanding this unique feature of the movement of the
trimers, and we discuss the potential for experimental realization.Comment: 10 pages, 10 figure
Hartree shift in unitary Fermi gases
The Hartree energy shift is calculated for a unitary Fermi gas. By including
the momentum dependence of the scattering amplitude explicitly, the Hartree
energy shift remains finite even at unitarity. Extending the theory also for
spin-imbalanced systems allows calculation of polaron properties. The results
are in good agreement with more involved theories and experiments.Comment: 31 pages, many figure
Discovery potential for Higgs bosons beyond the SM
The discovery potential of the CMS detector for the MSSM neutral and charged
Higgs bosons at the LHC is presented based on studies with full detector

Urban biodiversity and carbon sinks - Do they overlap? Case study of Helsinki Metropolitan Area, Finland.
Publisher Copyright: © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.Amongst the greatest global environmental challenges of our time are climate change and biodiversity loss. Feedback mechanisms associated with warming climate could also lead to large-scale biodiversity losses worldwide and it would therefore be logical to seek mitigation methods beneficial for both impact categories. However, research on the topic remains relatively scarce. Our study focuses on two key aspects of environmental sustainability, carbon storage capacity and species biodiversity, to determine whether these correlate at different levels of urban density. GIS-datasets are utilized to estimate the carbon storage potential and species diversity across the urban landscape as well as their association at different levels of urban land use intensity. The results highlight the importance of small green spaces at dense urban cores, indicating that in environments where green infrastructure is limited high species diversity and carbon storage are more likely to overlap, whereas at urban fringe the observed relationship is weaker and divergence of the two impact categories becomes more probable. The study draws attention to the role fragmented, limited green spaces play at establishing functioning ecosystems at local scale and provides new information to support the development of sustainable planning and management practices across the urban land use gradient.Peer reviewe
Coexistence of pairing gaps in three-component Fermi gases
We study a three-component superfluid Fermi gas in a spherically symmetric
harmonic trap using the Bogoliubov-deGennes method. We predict a coexistence
phase in which two pairing field order parameters are simultaneously nonzero,
in stark contrast to studies performed for trapped gases using local density
approximation. We also discuss the role of atom number conservation in the
context of a homogeneous system.Comment: Text revised, added two figures and three reference
