Efimov physics in ultracold atomic gases using finite-range potentials — •Thomas Secker, Paul Mestrom, and Servaas Kokkelmans — Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Three-body Efimov physics is relevant for the understanding of both dynamics and stability of ultracold gases. Efimov predicted the existence of an infinite sequence of three-body bound states, of which many properties scale universally, at diverging scattering length for a zero-range interaction potential. Experiments with ultracold atoms in which the scattering length is tuned through Feshbach resonances have also shown the universality of the negative three-body parameter. In order to investigate these universal aspects, we utilize a finite range interaction potential. We solve for this problem in a momentum-space treatment containing off-shell two-body scattering processes. To include the Feshbach formalism we have generalized it to an off-shell theory. First results show remarkable similarities with experimental data, especially in the case of broad resonances.
