The quantum-mechanical three-body problem is one of the fundamental challenges of few-body physics. When the two-body interactions become resonant, an infinite series of universal three-body bound states is predicted to occur, whose…

We investigate the energy dependence of inelastic processes in systems which possess Efimov states. We consider the three-body recombination rate $K_3$ where three free atoms interact to produce an atom--dimer pair, and the relaxation rate…
