Abstract

We suggest a simple method for measuring the temperature of ultracold gases made of fermions. We show that by using a two-photon Raman probe, it is possible to obtain line shapes which reveal properties of the degenerate sample, notably its temperature T. The proposed method could be used with identical fermions in different hyperfine states interacting via s-wave scattering or identical fermions in the same hyperfine state via p-wave scattering. We illustrate the applicability of the method in realistic conditions for [Formula Presented] prepared in two different hyperfine states. We find that temperatures down to [Formula Presented] can be determined by this in situ method.
