From $A(p,\\omega)$ we determine the quasiparticle spectrum, which can be accurately parametrized by three functions of temperature: an effective mass $m^*$, a mean-field potential $U$, and a gap $\\Delta$. Below the critical temperature $T_c=0.15\\varepsilon_F$ the results for $m^*$, $U$ and $\\Delta$ can be accurately reproduced using an independent quasiparticle model. We find evidence of a pseudogap in the fermionic excitation spectrum for temperatures up to {$T^*\\approx 0.20\\varepsilon_{F} > T_c$}.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2009-11-22T20:23:19.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.30.Fk", "67.25.dt", "03.75.Hh", "03.75.Ss" ], "keywords": [ "quantum monte carlo calculations", "finite temperature pairing gap", "unitary fermi gas" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2009, "month": "Nov", "volume": 103, "number": 21, "pages": 210403 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 809325, "adsabs": "2009PhRvL.103u0403M" } } }
