• Abstract summary: We report the creation and the study of the stability of a repulsive quasi-homogeneous spin-$1/2$ Fermi gas with contact interactions. For the range of scattering lengths $a$ explored, the dominant mechanism of decay is a universal three-body recombination towards a Feshbach bound state. The measurement of $K_3$ provides an upper bound for the interaction strength achievable in equilibrium for a uniform repulsive Fermi gas.

• Abstract: We report the creation and the study of the stability of a repulsive quasi-homogeneous spin-$1/2$ Fermi gas with contact interactions. For the range of scattering lengths $a$ explored, the dominant mechanism of decay is a universal three-body recombination towards a Feshbach bound state. We observe that the recombination coefficient $K_3\propto \epsilon_\text{kin} a^6$, where the first factor, the average kinetic energy per particle $\epsilon_\text{kin}$, arises from a three-body threshold law, and the second one from the universality of recombination. Both scaling laws are consequences of Pauli blocking effects in three-body collisions involving two identical fermions. As a result of the interplay between Fermi statistics and the momentum dependence of the recombination process, the system exhibits non-trivial temperature dynamics during recombination, alternatively heating or cooling depending on its initial quantum degeneracy. The measurement of $K_3$ provides an upper bound for the interaction strength achievable in equilibrium for a uniform repulsive Fermi gas.

  We study the zero-energy collision of three fermions, two of which are in the spin-down ($downarrow$) state. When the interactions are weak, we calculate $D$ approximately using the Born expansion. We also analyze the energy shift of three such fermions in a large periodic cube due to $D$ and generalize this result to the many-fermion system.

We calculate the shifts of energy and of pressure of spin-polarized one-dimensional Fermi gases due to a nonzero $D_F$ and the three-body recombination rate in one dimension.

  We investigate the ground-state properties of single-component Fermi gases with short-range repulsive interactions. A comparison against recently derived second-order perturbative results shows good agreement in a broad range of interaction strength. We find remarkable agreement with a recently derived fourth-order expansion that includes $p$-wave contributions.
