Abstract

We discuss weakly bound states of a few-fermion system having spin-isospin symmetry. This corresponds to the nuclear physics case in which the singlet, a0a_0, and triplet, a1a_1, npn-p scattering lengths are large with respect to the range of the nuclear interaction. The ratio of the two is about a0/a14.31a_0/a_1\approx-4.31. This value defines a plane in which a0a_0 and a1a_1 can be varied up to the unitary limit, 1/a0=01/a_0=0 and 1/a1=01/a_1=0, maintaining its ratio fixed. Using a spin dependant potential model we estimate the three-nucleon binding energy along that plane. This analysis can be considered an extension of the Efimov plot for three bosons to the case of three 1/21/2-spin-isospin fermions.
