Abstract
We consider bosons interacting through a narrow -wave resonance. Such a resonance is characterized by an infinite scattering length and a large and negative effective range . We argue that any number of bosons can form a self-bound cluster with the binding energy per particle increasing as for , where is the background scattering length (between atoms and molecules). In the opposite limit , bosons form droplets with binding energy per particle saturating to a constant value independent of the particle number. The stability of clusters and droplets when the interaction is detuned from the resonance is also studied.
