We discuss effective field theory treatments of the problem of three particles interacting via short-range forces (range R >> a_2, with a_2 the two-body scattering length). We show that forming a once-subtracted scattering equation yields a…
Four-body systems are studied using an effective field theory with two- and three-body contact interactions. A method to systematically address deep trimers (three-body bound states that are more tightly bound than four-body bound/resonant…
We present results on the scattering lengths of ^4He--^4He_2 and ^3He--^4He_2 collisions. We also study the consequence of varying the coupling constant of the atom-atom interaction.
The two-body scattering length a for 4He atoms is much larger than their effective range r_s. As a consequence, low-energy few-body observables have universal characteristics that are independent of the interaction potential. Universality…
We calculate the scattering lenths A(K-,3He) and A(K-,4He) using the multiple scattering approach and different parameters sets for the elementary a(Kbar,N). Within the zero-range approximation, we find for both systems loosely bound states…
