Description
We investigate nearly degenerate Bose-Fermi mixtures and show that the breaking of generalized supersymmetry (gSUSY) between bosons and fermions, with up to two internal states, manifests itself through the emergence of fermionic Goldstino modes with up to four flavors. In particular, we draw a distinction between typical supersymmetry (SUSY), where bosons have pseudospin 0 and fermions have pseudospin 1/2, and inverse supersymmetry (iSUSY), where bosons have pseudospin 1/2 and fermions have pseudospin 0. In such systems, we highlight that the Goldstino pseudospin is carried by either its constituent fermion (SUSY) or boson (iSUSY). We then distinguish between these two cases by depicting their differing effects on the spectral functions of the bosonic and fermionic atomic species. Furthermore, we propose radio-frequency- or microwave-spectroscopy experiments, analogous to momentum (angular) resolved photoemission in condensed matter physics, to measure the pseudospin-dependent spectral functions and detect the emergence of Goldstino modes in mixtures of 39K and 40K. Lastly, we make connections and point out differences between the Goldstino and the Polaron.
