We calculate the spectrum of three-body Efimov bound states near a Feshbach resonance within a model which accounts both for the finite range of interactions and the presence of background scattering. The latter may be due to direct…
Low-energy universality in atomic few-body systems as a result of a large two-body scattering length has gained a lot of attention recently. Here, I discuss recent progress in describing the three-body recombination of cold atoms in terms…

Atom-dimer scattering below the three-body break-up threshold is studied for a system of three identical bosons. The atom-dimer scattering length and the energy of the most weakly-bound three-body state are shown to be strongly correlated.…
