Collective excitations of a trapped Fermi gas at finite temperature    [PDF]

A. Korolyuk, J. J. Kinnunen, P. Törmä
We study collective excitations of a trapped Fermi gas at finite temperature using the Bogoliubov-deGennes mean-field theory in conjunction with the generalized random phase approximation. The collective excitations are analyzed through the density response of a monopole excitation. We show the appearance of several modes at the normal fluid - superfluid phase transition temperature: Higgs mode-like pairing amplitude modulations, analogues of the second sound in the trapped gas, and an edge mode that is also the strongest mode in the response.
