Abstract :
We present here experimental result showing that an collisional shift that cannot be explained by mean-field effects. We demonstrate that the latter results from subtle interaction scheme in our cold atomic cloud, mathematically equivalent to a fermionic collisional shift. We show agreement between theory and experiment, and extract the relevant energy scales implied in the collision process.
