N2 - We consider the superfluid phase transition that arises when a Feshbach
resonance pairing occurs in a dilute Fermi gas. We apply our theory to
consider a specific resonance in potassium ( 40K), and find
that for achievable experimental conditions, the transition to a
superfluid phase is possible at the high critical temperature of about
0.5TF. Observation of superfluidity in this regime would
provide the opportunity to experimentally study the crossover from the
superfluid phase of weakly coupled fermions to the Bose-Einstein
condensation of strongly bound composite bosons.
