We unveil an exotic phenomenon arising from the intricate interplay between non-Hermiticity and many-body physics, namely, an occupation-dependent particle separation for hardcore bosons in a one-dimensional lattice driven by unidirectional non-Hermitian pumping. Taking hardcore bosons as an example, we find that a pair of particles occupying the same unit cell exhibit an opposite non-Hermitian pumping direction to that of unpaired ones occupying different unit cells. By turning on an intracell interaction, many-body eigenstates split in their real energies, forming separable clusters in the complex energy plane with either left-, right-, or bipolar-types of non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE). The dependency of skin accumulating directions on particle occupation is further justified with local sublattice correlation and entanglement entropy of many-body eigenstates. Dynamically, this occupation-dependent NHSE manifests as uni- or bidirectional pumping for many-body initial states, allowing for spatially separating paired and unpaired particles. Our results unveil the possibility of designing and exploring novel non-Hermitian phases originated from particle nonconservation in subsystems (e.g., orbitals, sublattices, or spin species) and their spatial configurations.
