Binding and structure of tetramers in the scaling limit
Abstract
The momentum-space structure of the Faddeev-Yakubovsky (FY)components of weakly-bound tetramers is investigated at the unitary limit using a renormalized zero-range two-body interaction. The results, obtained by considering a given trimer level with binding energy , provide further support to a universal scaling function relating the binding energies of two successive tetramer states. The correlated scaling between the tetramer energies comes from the sensitivity of the four-boson system to a short-range four-body scale. Each excited th tetramer energy moves as the short-range four-body scale changes, while the trimer properties are kept fixed, with the next excited tetramer emerging from the atom-trimer threshold for a universal ratio , which does not depend on . We show that both channels of the FY decomposition [atom-trimer (type) and dimer-dimer (type)] present high momentum tails, which reflect the short-range four-body scale. We also found that the channel is favored over channel at low momentum when the four-body momentum scale largely overcomes the three-body one.
