Four-boson scale near a Feshbach resonance

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-11-11 v2 Atomic Physics

Abstract

We show that an independent four-body momentum scale μ(4)\mu_{(4)} drives the tetramer binding energy for fixed trimer energy (or three-body scale μ(3)\mu_{(3)}) and large scattering length (aa). The three- and four-body forces from the one-channel reduction of the atomic interaction near a Feshbach resonance disentangle μ(4)\mu_{(4)} and μ(3)\mu_{(3)}. The four-body independent scale is also manifested through a family of Tjon-lines, with slope given by μ(4)/μ(3)\mu_{(4)}/\mu_{(3)} for a1=0a^{-1}=0. There is the possibility of a new renormalization group limit cycle due to the new scale.
