Abstract

We employ radio-frequency spectroscopy to investigate a polarized spin-mixture of ultracold {}6Li atoms close to a broad Feshbach scattering resonance. Focusing on the regime of strong repulsive interactions, we observe well-defined coherent quasiparticles even for unitarity-limited interactions. We characterize the many-body system by extracting the key properties of repulsive Fermi polarons: the energy E_+, the effective mass m^*, the residue Z and the decay rate Γ. Above a critical interaction, E_+ is found to exceed the Fermi energy of the bath while m^* diverges and even turns negative, thereby indicating that the repulsive Fermi liquid state becomes energetically and thermodynamically unstable.
