We study the behavior of weakly bound clusters and their relation to the well-known three-body Efimov states. We adopt a model to describe universal behavior of strongly interacting bosonic systems, and we test its validity by reproducing…
We calculate shallow three-body bound states in the universal regime, defined by Efimov, with inclusion of both scattering length and effective range parameters. The universal spectrum is recovered for the least bound states, whereas for…
