We study small clusters of bosons, $A=2,3,4,5,6$, characterized by a resonant interaction. Firstly, we use a soft-gaussian interaction that reproduces the values of the dimer binding energy and the atom-atom scattering length obtained with…

In this work, we study the Efimov effect in a mass-imbalanced system consisting of two heavy particles and one light particle within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The result obtained in R. Figari, H. Saberbaghi, and A. Teta, J. Phys.…
In the three-body problem with positive energy, solutions which avoid triple collision have the property that the size of the triangle formed by the bodies tends to infinity as $t\rightarrow \pm\infty$. Furthermore, the triangles have…
For a system of three identical bosons interacting via short-range forces, when two of the atoms are about to form a two-body s-wave dimer, there exists an infinite number of three-body bound states. This effect is the well-known Efimov…
We investigate the zero-temperature properties of an impurity particle interacting with a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), using a variational wavefunction that includes up to two Bogoliubov excitations of the BEC. This allows one to capture…
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…
Efimov physics at $p$-wave unitarity for three equal mass fermions in multiple symmetries interacting via Lennard-Jones potentials is predicted to modify the long range interaction potential energy, but without producing a true Efimov…

Super Efimov effect is a recently proposed three-body effect characterized by a double-exponential scaling, which has not been observed experimentally yet. Here, we present the general dynamic equations determining the cloud size of a scale…
The two-body scattering length a for 4He atoms is much larger than their effective range r_s. As a consequence, low-energy few-body observables have universal characteristics that are independent of the interaction potential. Universality…
Low-energy neutron-${}^{19}$C scattering is studied in the three-body $n + n + {}^{18}$C model using a realistic $nn$ potential and a number of shallow and deep $n$-${}^{18}$C potentials, the latter supporting deeply-bound Pauli-forbidden…
In few-body physics, Efimov states are an infinite series of three-body bound states that obey universal discrete scaling symmetry when pairwise interactions are resonantly enhanced. Despite abundant reports of Efimov states in recent cold…
