Suppression of Density Fluctuations in a Quantum Degenerate Fermi Gas

Suppression of Density Fluctuations in a Quantum Degenerate Fermi Gas

We study density profiles of an ideal Fermi gas and observe Pauli suppression of density fluctuations (atom shot noise) for cold clouds deep in the quantum degenerate regime. Strong suppression is observed for probe volumes containing more than 10 000 atoms. Measuring the level of suppression provid...
