We find that universal three-body physics extends beyond the threshold regime to non-zero energies. For ultracold atomic gases with a negative two-body $s$-wave scattering length near a Feshbach resonance, we show the resonant peaks…
For the zero-range interaction providing a given mass M_2 of the two-body bound state, the mass M_3 of the relativistic three-boson state is calculated. We have found that the three-body system exists only when M_2 is greater than a…
Faddeev equations in configuration space and integral form for three-atom scattering processes are formulated allowing for additive and nonadditive forces. The explicit partial wave decomposition is displayed. This formulation appears to be…
We investigate one-dimensional three-body systems composed of two identical bosons and one imbalanced atom (impurity) with two-body and three-body zero-range interactions. For the case in the absence of three-body interaction, we give a…
Three body systems with short-range interactions display universal features that have been extensively explored in atomic physics, but apply to hadron physics as well. Systems composed of two non-interacting identical particles (species H)…
A simple analytic expression of the three-body wave function describing the system $(\alpha\alpha n)$ in the ground state $\frac{3}{2}^-$ of ${}^9\mathrm{Be}$ is obtained. In doing this, it is assumed that the $\alpha$ particles interact…
