We present the random phase approximation (RPA) theory of the Bose-Einstein-condensation–Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer crossover in an atomic Fermi gas near a Feshbach resonance that includes the relevant two-body atomic physics exactly. This allows us to determine the probability Z for the dressed molecules in the Bose-Einstein condensate to be in the closed channel of the Feshbach resonance and to compare with the recent experiments of Partridge et al. [ 95 020404 (2005)] with 6Li, who have measured the same quantity.
