High-energy Bragg scattering measurements of a dipolar supersolid

Petter, D., Patscheider, A., Natale, G. et al.

Understand

We present an experimental and theoretical study of the high-energy excitation spectra of a dipolar supersolid.

  • Using Bragg spectroscopy, we study the scattering response of the system to a high-energy probe, enabling measurements of the dynamic structure factor.
  • We experimentally observe a continuous reduction of the response when tuning the contact interaction from an ordinary Bose-Einstein condensate to a supersolid state.
  • Yet the observed reduction is faster than the one theoretically predicted by the Bogoliubov-de-Gennes theory.
