Universality and Leading Corrections in Few-Body Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A large two-body scattering length leads to universal behavior in few-body systems. In particular, the three-body system displays interesting features such as exact discrete scale invariance in the bound state spectrum in the limit of infinite scattering length. Here, I will discuss how an effective field theory (EFT) can be used to study these features and how the finite range of the underlying interaction impacts the bound state spectrum at first order in the EFT expansion.

Universality in Few-Body Systems
Low-energy universality in atomic few-body systems as a result of a large two-body scattering length has gained a lot of attention recently. Here, I discuss recent progress in describing the three-body recombination of cold atoms in terms of a finite set of universal scaling functions and review results for the recombination length of 133Cs atoms obtained with these functions. Furthermore, I wi...
متن کاملUniversality class of 3D site-diluted and bond-diluted Ising systems
We present a finite-size scaling analysis of high-statistics Monte Carlo simulations of the three-dimensional randomly site-diluted and bond-diluted Ising model. The critical behavior of these systems is affected by slowly-decaying scaling corrections which make the accurate determination of their universal asymptotic behavior quite hard, requiring an effective control of the scaling correction...
متن کاملExploring Universality of Few-body Physics Based on Ultracold Atoms near Feshbach Resonances
A universal characterization of interactions in fewand many-body quantum systems is often possible without detailed description of the interaction potential, and has become a defacto assumption for cold atom research. Universality in this context is defined as the validity to fully characterize the system in terms of two-body scattering length. We discuss universality in the following three con...
متن کاملNuclear clusters with Halo Effective Field Theory
At low energies, few-body systems with large scattering length exhibit universal features (universality) that are independent of the interaction details. Some consequences are the existence of a shallow bound state and the Efimov effect1 in the twoand three-body sectors, respectively. These universal properties have a wide range of applications, from particle and nuclear to atomic and molecular...
