Abstract
The number of four-body states known to behave universally is small. This work adds a new class of four-body states to this relatively short list. We predict the existence of a universal four-body bound state for heavy-light mixtures consisting of three identical heavy fermions and a fourth distinguishable lighter particle with mass ratio and short-range interspecies interaction characterized by a positive s-wave scattering length. The structural properties of these universal states are discussed and finite-range effects are analyzed. The bound states can be experimentally realized and probed utilizing ultracold atom mixtures.
