We show that the recently measured magnetic field dependence of three-body loss in a three-component mixture of ultracold $^6$Li atoms [1,2] can be explained by the presence of a universal trimer state. Previous work suggested a universal…

We consider a three-component Fermi gas that has SU(3) symmetry and is confined to two dimensions (2D). For realistic cold atomic gas experiments, we show that the phase diagram of the quasi-2D system can be characterized using two 2D…
