Ultracold three-body recombination in two dimensions

José Paulo D'Incao, Fatima Anis, Brett D. Esry

We study three-body recombination in two dimensions for systems interacting via short-range two-body interactions in the regime of large scattering lengths. Using the adiabatic hyperspherical representation, we derive semianalytical formulas for three-body recombination in both weakly and deeply bound diatom states. Our results demonstrate the importance of long-range corrections to the three-body potentials by showing how they alter the low-energy and scattering-length dependence of the recombination rate for both bosonic and fermionic systems, which exhibit suppressed recombination if compared to the three-dimensional case. We verify these results through numerical calculations of recombination for systems with finite-range interactions and supporting a few two-body bound states. We also study finite-range effects for the energies of the universal three-identical-bosons states and find a slow approach to universal predictions as a function of the scattering length.We study three-body recombination in two dimensions for systems interacting via short-range two-body interactions in the regime of large scattering lengths.

Weakly bound ground states in three-body Coulomb systems with unit charges

Alexei M. Frolov, Ajit J. Thakkar

The stability of weakly bound ground states, with zero total angular momentum, in three-body Coulomb systems with unit charges, is studied by means of highly accurate variational calculations. Weakly bound ground states are predicted for a number of systems, including ${\mathit{d}}^{+}$ ${\mathit{t}}^{+}$ ${\mathit{p}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$, ${\mathit{t}}^{+}$ ${\mathit{K}}^{+}$ ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$, ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{+}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\mu}}}^{+}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\mu}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$, and ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{+}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\mu}}}^{+}$${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\pi}}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}}$.The stability of weakly bound ground states, with zero total angular momentum, in three-body Coulomb systems with unit charges, is studied by means of highly accurate variational calculations.

Weakly bound cluster states of Efimov character

Javier von Stecher

We study the behaviour of weakly bound clusters and their relation to the well-known three-body Efimov states. We adopt a model to describe the universal behaviour of strongly interacting bosonic systems, and we test its validity by reproducing predictions of three- and four-body universal states. Then, we extend our study to larger systems and identify a series of universal cluster states that can be qualitatively interpreted as adding one particle at a time to an Efimov trimer. The properties of these cluster states and their experimental signatures are discussed.We study the behaviour of weakly bound clusters and their relation to the well-known three-body Efimov states.
