Abstract
We propose to utilize density-density correlations in the image of an\nexpanding gas cloud to probe complex many body states of trapped ultra-cold\natoms. In particular we show how this technique can be used to detect\nsuperfluidity of fermionic gases and reveal broken spin symmetries in\nMott-states of atoms in optical lattices. The feasibility of the method is\ninvestigated by analysis of the relevant signal to noise ratio including\nexperimental imperfections.\n
