Clock shift in a strongly interacting two-dimensional Fermi gas

ORAL

Abstract

We derive universal relations for the radio-frequency (rf) spectroscopy of a two-dimensional Fermi gas consisting of two spin states interacting through an S-wave scattering length. The rf transition rate has a high-frequency tail that is proportional to the contact and displays logarithmic scaling violations, decreasing asymptotically like $1/(\omega^2 \ln^2 \omega)$. Its coefficient is proportional to $\ln^2(a_{2D}'/a_{2D})$, where $a_{2D}$ and $a_{2D}'$ are the 2-dimensional scattering lengths associated with initial-state and final-state interactions. The clock shift is proportional to the contact and to $\ln(a_{2D}'/a_{2D})$. If $|\ln(a_{2D}'/a_{2D})| \gg 1$, the clock shift arises as a cancellation between much larger contributions proportional to $\ln^2(a_{2D}'/a_{2D})$ from bound-bound and bound-free rf transitions.
