Abstract

Two-component polarized Fermi gases at low temperature represent a new normal Fermi liquid. We show that measurements of the relaxation of the dipole mode for relative motion of the two components, which corresponds to the giant resonance in nuclei, will give valuable information about amplitudes for mutual scattering of the two components. Using the concepts of Fermi-liquid theory, we estimate the relaxation time for counterflow of the two components, and show that for current experimental conditions, the motion of the dipole mode would be intermediate between the hydrodynamic and collisionless limits.
