Hydrodynamic expansion of a strongly interacting Fermi-Fermi mixture of 161Dy and 40K
Abstract
We study the hydrodynamic expansion of a near-degenerate Fermi-Fermi mixture in the strongly interacting regime of an interspecies Feshbach resonance. While the 161Dy majority component is only weakly affected in the width of its Gaussian distribution, the 40K minority component features a strong effect of the mass imbalance, manifesting itself in pronounced side wings in the expansion profiles. We reproduce this unexpected behavior in a classical Monte Carlo simulation, taking into account the resonant cross section between the two species. The simulation shows the same dependence on interaction strength as the experimental data and can be extended to study other phenomena such as collective modes in the collisionally hydrodynamic regime.
