We describe 19B in terms of a 17B-n-n three-body system, where the two-body subsystems 17B-n and n-n are unbound (virtual) states close to the unitary limit. The energy of 19B ground state is well reproduced and two low-lying resonances are…
We consider the evolution of the neutron-nucleus scattering length for the lightest nuclei. We show that, when increasing the number of neutrons in the target nucleus, the strong Pauli repulsion is weakened and the balance with the…
We study three-body systems composed of $D^{(*)}$, $B^{(*)}$ and $\bar{B}^{(*)}$ in order to look for possible bound states or resonances. In order to solve the three-body problem, we use the fixed center approach for the Faddeev equations…
We explore the description of the bound $^{19}$B isotope in terms of a $^{17}$B+n+n three-body system where the two-body subsystems $^{17}$B+n and neutron-neutron (nn) have virtual states close to the continuum. Dimensionless scaling…
We make a theoretical study of the three-body system composed of ${\bar K^*}{\bar B^*}{\bar B^*}$ to look for possible bound states, which could be associated to mesonic resonances of very exotic nature, containing open strange and…
We study the three-body systems of $\bar{K}^{(*)}B^{(*)}\bar{B}^{(*)}$ by solving the Faddeev equations in the fixed-center approximation, where the light particle $\bar{K}^{(*)}$ interacts with the heavy bound states of $B\bar{B}$…
We study theoretically the $BD\bar{D}$ and $BDD$ systems to see if they allow for possible bound or resonant states. The three-body interaction is evaluated implementing the Fixed Center Approximation to the Faddeev equations which…
The pole trajectory of Efimov states for a three-body $\alpha\alpha\beta$ system with $\alpha\alpha$ unbound and $\alpha\beta$ bound is calculated using a zero-range Dirac-$\delta$ potential. It is showed that a three-body bound state turns…
We present an Asymptotic Bound-state Model which can be used to accurately describe all Feshbach resonance positions and widths in a two-body system. With this model we determine the coupled bound states of a particular two-body system. The…
We consider the bound states of a system consisting of a light particle and two heavy bosonic ones, which are restricted in their quantum mechanical motion to two space dimensions. A $p$-wave resonance in the heavy-light short-range…
Possible bound and resonant states of the hypernuclear systems $\Lambda nn$ and $\Lambda\Lambda n$ are sought as zeros of the corresponding three-body Jost functions calculated within the framework of the hyperspherical approach with local…
We address the question of the reliability of the Born-Oppenheimer (BO) approximation for a mass-imbalanced resonant three-body system embedded in noninteger dimensions. We address this question within the problem of a system of currently…
The emergence of Efimov levels in a three-body system is investigated near the unitarity limit characterized by resonating two-body interaction. No direct evidence of Efimov levels is seen in the three-nucleon system since the triton is the…
During the last decades, numerous exotic states which cannot be explained by the conventional quark model have been observed in experiment. Some of them can be understood as two-body hadronic molecules, such as the famous $X(3872)$,…
The two-neutron unbound ground state resonances of $^{26}$O and $^{16}$Be were populated using one-proton knockout reactions from $^{27}$F and $^{17}$B beams. A coincidence measurement of 3-body system (fragment + n + n) allowed for the…
In present work, we perform a coupled-channel analysis of $B^{(*)}_{(s)}\bar{B}^{(*)}_{(s)}$ systems with the one-boson-exchange potentials. We first study the $I(J^{PC})=1(1^{+-})$ $B\bar{B}^{*}/B^{*}\bar{B}^{*}$ system to describe the…
We investigate to what extent 18Ne can be descibed as a three-body system made of an inert 16O-core and two protons. We compare to experimental data and occasionally to shell model results. We obtain three-body wave functions with the…
The Borromean nucleus $^{17}$Ne ($^{15}$O$ + p + p$) is investigated by using the hyperspheric adiabatic expansion for a a three-body system. The measured size of $^{15}$O and the low-lying resonances of $^{16}$F ($^{15}$O$ + p$) are first…
