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.…

Near two-body unitarity, the three-boson system is characterized by an approximate discrete scale invariance manifest in a geometric tower of bound states (the Efimov effect). In the absence of a strong four-body force, the four-boson…

Two particles that are just shy of binding may develop an infinite number of shallow bound states when a third particle is added. This counter intuitive quantum mechanical result was first predicted by V. Efimov for identical bosons…
