We study the loss of atoms in quantum Newton's cradles (QNCs) with a range of average energies and transverse confinements. We find that the three-body collision rate in one-dimension is strongly energy dependent, as predicted by a strictly…

We show that the recently measured magnetic field dependence of three-body loss in a three-component mixture of ultracold $^6$Li atoms [1,2] can be explained by the presence of a universal trimer state. Previous work suggested a universal…
The four nucleons in $^8$Li outside the $\alpha$-particle ($\alpha=^4$He) can be divided into pairs of one neutron ($n$) and 3 nucleons in the triton ($t=^3$H), or 2 in the deuteron ($d=^2$H) and two neutrons in a dineutron ($^2n$). The…

Making use of the Effective Field Theory(EFT) expansion recently developed by the authors, we compute the charge form factor of triton up to next-to-next-to-leading order (N$^2$LO). The three-nucleon forces(3NF) is required for…
We report the first demonstration of cooling by three-body losses in a Bose gas. We use a harmonically confined one-dimensional (1D) Bose gas in the quasi-condensate regime and, as the atom number decreases under the effect of three-body…
