Description
We study a polarized Fermi gas and demonstrate that Fano-Feshbach (FF) resonances lead to the pairing of fermions and holes into long living massive bosonic modes (bifermions and biholes), which can be viewed as signatures of a first order quantum phase transition. These modes, which are neither conventional Cooper pairs nor closed channel bosonic dimers, have a peculiar dispersion relation and appear already in the weak coupling limit, i.e. for large FF detunings. Our result is in accord with claims of Schunck \emph{et al.} [cond-mat/0702066] that by stabilizing the normal state the population imbalance still allows effect of s-wave fermionic pairing.
