Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 150403 (2004) [4 pages]Detection of BCS Pairing in Neutral Fermi Fluids via Stokes Scattering: The Hebel-Slichter EffectReceived 2 June 2004; published 8 October 2004 We consider the effects of superfluidity on the light scattering properties of a two component gas of fermionic atoms, demonstrating that the scattered intensities of the Stokes and anti-Stokes lines exhibit a large maximum below the critical temperature when the gas is superfluid. This effect, the light scattering analog of the Hebel-Slichter effect in conventional superconductors, can be used to detect unambiguously the onset of pairing in an atomic gas in the BCS regime. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
