Universality in few-body systems with large scattering length

E Braaten, HW Hammer - Physics Reports, 2006 - Elsevier
Particles with short-range interactions and a large scattering length have universal low-

Observation of the Efimov state of the helium trimer

M Kunitski, S Zeller, J Voigtsberger, A Kalinin… - Science, 2015 - science.org
Quantum theory dictates that upon weakening the two-body interaction in a three-body
system, an infinite number of three-body bound states of a huge spatial extent emerge just …

The three-body problem with short-range interactions

E Nielsen, DV Fedorov, AS Jensen, E Garrido - Physics Reports, 2001 - Elsevier
The quantum mechanical three-body problem is studied for general short-range interactions.

Recombination of three atoms in the ultracold limit

BD Esry, CH Greene, JP Burke Jr - Physical review letters, 1999 - APS
We identify two qualitatively different mechanisms that control three-body recombination in a
spin-polarized gas near zero temperature. A universal curve describes the recombination …

Determination of the bond length and binding energy of the helium dimer by diffraction from a transmission grating

RE Grisenti, W Schöllkopf, JP Toennies… - Physical Review Letters, 2000 - APS

Unified theoretical treatment of dissociative recombination of triatomic ions: Application to and

V Kokoouline, CH Greene - Physical Review A, 2003 - APS
The dissociative recombination of an H 3+ ion after it is struck by a low-energy electron is
important for understanding observations of H 3+ in diffuse interstellar clouds. At the same …
