Description:
We calculate Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) state of a unitary Fermi gas of atoms interacting with the finite-ranged Jost-Kohn potential which has been recently shown to account for the resonant interactions [2019 {
m J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys.} { f 52}, 165004]. Using exact scattering solution of the potential, we derive two-body ${mathbf T}$-matrix element which is employed to construct the BCS Hamiltonian in momentum space. We present results on the energy- and range-dependence of the pairing gap and superfluid density and the range-dependence of the chemical potential for a wide variation of the scattering length including the extcolor{red}{unitary} regime. In the zero range limit our calculated gap at the Fermi energy is found to be nearly equal to that calculated extcolor{red}{in mean-field theory with contact potential}. The mean gap averaged over the full width at half maximum of the gap function in the zero range and unitary limits is found to be $0.42 E_F$ which is quite close to the recent result of the quantum Monte Carlo simulation [2018 {
m Phys. Rev.A} { f 97}, 013601]. The chemical potential in the zero range limit also agrees well with that for the contact potential.
