At large momenta k/k_F, we find that n(k) falls off as C/k^4, in agreement with the Tan relations. From the asymptotics of n(k), we determine the contact C as a function of T/\\epsilon_F and present a comparison with theory. At low T/\\epsilon_F, we find that C increases with temperature, and we tentatively identify a maximum around T/\\epsilon_F \\simeq 0.4. Our calculations are performed on lattices of spatial extent up to N_x = 14 with a particle number per unit volume of \\simeq 0.03 - 0.07.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-06-15T01:24:25.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "67.85.De", "67.10.Jn", "05.30.Fk" ], "keywords": [ "unitary fermi gas", "momentum distribution", "quantum monte carlo calculations", "finite temperature", "ground state" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2011, "month": "May", "volume": 106, "number": 20, "pages": 205302 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 882889, "adsabs": "2011PhRvL.106t5302D" } } }
