  "abstract": "Light scattering from a spin-polarized degenerate Fermi gas of trapped ultracold Li-6 atoms is studied. We find that the scattered light contains information which directly reflects the quantum pair correlation due to the formation of atomic Cooper pairs resulting from a BCS phase transition to a superfluid state. Evidence for pairing can be observed in both the space and time domains.",
