Abstract
We study rf spectroscopy of ultracold Fermi gas by going beyond the linear response in the field-matter interaction. Higher order perturbation theory allows virtual processes and energy conservation beyond the single-particle level. We formulate an effective higher order theory, which agrees quantitatively with experiments on the pairing gap and is consistent with the absence of the mean-field shift in the spin-flip experiment.
