Collective modes
Linearization Considering the breathing modes
Collective modes In an axial symmetric trap where is the anisotropy parameter.
Collective modes ± signs correspond to the radial and axial modes respectively. purely geometric, irrelevant to EOS.
In a cigar-shaped trap as being equipped in the experiments whose data are now available The radial modes: The axial modes: Collective modes
The radial breathing modes compared with experimental data. Collective modes
The axial breathing modes compared with experimental data. Collective modes
Summary With the proposed equation of state, we have analyzed the hydrodynamic modes. For Fermi gas in a cigar-shaped harmonic trap potential, the radial and axial breathing mode frequencies are derived. The results are in agreement with the experimental measurements.
