We study a system of three bosons interacting with short-range potentials which can move along three different lines. Two of these lines are parallel to each other within one plane. The third line is constrained to a plane perpendicular to…
Efimov states are a sequence of shallow 3-body bound states that arise when the 2-body scattering length is large. Efimov showed that the binding energies of these states can be calculated in terms of the scattering length and a 3-body…
The low-energy spectrum of $N$-boson clusters with pairwise zero-range interactions is believed to be governed by a three-body parameter. We study the ground state of $N$-boson clusters with infinite two-body $s$-wave scattering length by…
