Probing pairing gap in Fermi atoms by light scattering

We study stimulated scattering of polarized light in a two-component Fermi gas of atoms at zero temperature. Within the framework of Nambu-Gorkov formalism, we calculate the response function of superfluid gas taking into account the final state interactions. The dynamic structure factor deduced from the response function provides information about the pairing gap and the momentum distributions of atoms. Model calculations using local density approximation indicates that the pairing gap of trapped Fermi gas may be detectable by Bragg spectroscopy due to stimulated scattering.
