Abstract
In this work we present a coherent picture for the evolution of Higgs mode in neutral -wave fermion superfluids. As the strength of attractive interaction between fermions increases from the BCS to the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) regime we find that the Higgs mode in the fermionic superfluids is pushed to higher energy while at the same time, gradually loses its spectral weight, which is because the system is tuned away from Lorentz invariance. Furthermore, when damping is taken into account, the spectral weight of the Higgs mode is significantly broadened due to coupling to phase mode in the whole BEC-BCS crossover.
