We report on the experimental observation of multiorbital polarons in a two-dimensional Fermi gas of ^{173}Yb atoms formed by mobile impurities in the metastable ^{3}P_{0} orbital and a Fermi sea in the ground-state ^{1}S_{0} orbital. We spectroscopically probe the energies of attractive and repulsive polarons close to an orbital Feshbach resonance and characterize their coherence by measuring the quasiparticle residue. For all probed interaction parameters, the repulsive polaron is a long…

Repulsive Fermi and Bose Polarons in Quantum Gases

Polaron quasiparticles are formed when a mobile impurity is coupled to the elementary excitations of a many-particle background. In the ﬁeld of ultracold atoms, the study of the associated impurity
Quasiparticle Lifetime of the Repulsive Fermi Polaron.

The theory-experiment agreement demonstrates that the quasiparticle lifetime is dominated by many-body dephasing within the upper repulsive branch rather than by relaxation from the upper branch itself, which has important consequences for the nature and stability of the strongly repulsive Fermi gas.
