Signature of strong atom-cavity interaction on critical coupling
We study a critically coupled cavity doped with resonant atoms with
metamaterial slabs as mirrors. We show how resonant atom-cavity interaction can
lead to a splitting of the critical coupling dip. The results are explained in
terms of the frequency and lifetime splitting of the coupled system.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Magneto-optical Feshbach resonance: Controlling cold collision with quantum interference
We propose a method of controlling two-atom interaction using both magnetic
and laser fields. We analyse the role of quantum interference between magnetic
and optical Feshbach resonances in controlling cold collision. In particular,
we demonstrate that this method allows us to suppress inelastic and enhance
elastic scattering cross sections. Quantum interference is shown to modify
significantly the threshold behaviour and resonant interaction of ultracold
atoms. Furthermore, we show that it is possible to manipulate not only the
spherically symmetric s-wave interaction but also the anisotropic higher
partial-wave interactions which are particularly important for high temperature
superfluid or superconducting phases of matter.Comment: 7 pages 3 figures, some minor errors are corrected, Accepted in J.

A simple functional form for proton-Pb total reaction cross sections
A simple functional form has been found that gives a good representation of
the total reaction cross sections for the scattering from Pb of
protons with energies in the range 30 to 300 MeV.Comment: 7 pages, 2 figure
Finite temperature effects in light scattering off Cooper-paired Fermi atoms
We study stimulated light scattering off a superfluid Fermi gas of atoms at
finite temperature. We derive response function that takes into account vertex
correction due to final state interactions; and analyze finite temperature
effects on collective and quasiparticle excitations of a uniform superfluid
Fermi gas. Light polarization is shown to play an important role in
excitations. Our results suggest that it is possible to excite
Bogoliubov-Anderson phonon at a large scattering length by light scattering.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figures, Accepted in J. Phys. B: At. Mol. & Opt. Phy
