A preprint of our recent work investigating the interplay between heating of fermionic atoms and the extended geometry of a “dimple” trap is now available on the arXiv. This work is an important part of our efforts to achieve conditions needed to investigate unconventional superfluid phases in ultracold Fermi gases.
