Investigating the BCS-BEC crossover region using ultra-cold fermionic atoms

POSTER

Abstract

Progress towards the experimental realization of the BCS-BEC crossover has opened a rich area of physics. Starting with a two-component gas of $^{40}$K atoms cooled to quantum degeneracy we can create strong, tunable interactions through the use of a magnetic Feshbach resonance. We report on recent experiments including current thermodynamics measurements.
