The universal equation of state is parametrised in terms of Fermi-Dirac integrals. This reproduces the experimental data over the accessible range of fugacity and normalised temperature, but cannot describe the superfluid phase transition found in the MIT experiment \\cite{ku}. The most sensitive data for compressibility and specific heat at phase transition can, however, befitted by introducing into the grand partition function a pair of complex conjugate zeros lying in the complex fugacity plane slightly off the real axis.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-11-27T09:59:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "unitary fermi gas", "phenomenological approach", "complex conjugate zeros", "grand partition function", "complex fugacity plane" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1302.6316M" } } }
