Nonrelativistic particles with short-range interactions that produce a P-wave threshold resonance can exhibit the Efimov effect: if the inverse scattering volume 1/a and the P-wave effective range r are simultaneously tuned to zero, there is an infinite sequence of three-body bound states called Efimov states that have an accumulation point at the threshold. The discrete scaling factor that characterizes the Efimov effect depends on the mass ratios and the symmetries of the three particles. There is no Efimov effect if all three particles are identical, but it can occur if two identical particles have a resonant P-wave interaction with a third particle. The spectrum of Efimov trimers is compatible with discrete scale invariance. The Efimov trimers disappear through the three-particle threshold at values of a and r that differ by appropriate powers of the discrete scaling factor.
