%0 Journal Article %T Trapped p-wave superfluids: a local density approach %A M. Iskin %A C. J. Williams %J Physics %D 2008 %I arXiv %R 10.1103/PhysRevA.77.041607 %X The local density approximation is used to study the ground state superfluid properties of harmonically trapped p-wave Fermi gases as a function of fermion-fermion attraction strength. While the density distribution is bimodal on the weakly attracting BCS side, it becomes unimodal with increasing attraction and saturates towards the BEC side. This non-monotonic evolution is related to the topological gapless to gapped phase transition, and may be observed via radio-frequency spectroscopy since quasi-particle transfer current requires a finite threshold only on the BEC side. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0801.3795v1
