Raman-Induced Interactions in a Single-Component Fermi Gas Near ans-Wave Feshbach Resonance

Ultracold gases of interacting spin-orbit-coupled fermions are predicted to display exotic phenomena such as topological superfluidity and its associated Majorana fermions. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a route to strongly interacting single-component atomic Fermi gases by combining an $s$-wave Feshbach resonance (giving strong interactions) and spin-orbit coupling (creating an effective $p$-wave channel). We identify the Feshbach resonance by its associated atomic loss feature and show that, in agreement with our single-channel scattering model, this feature is preserved and shifted as a function of the spin-orbit-coupling parameters.
