Universality in Few-Body Systems
arXiv:0712.3812 · doi:10.1007/s00601-008-0225-7
Abstract
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 cesium-133 atoms obtained with these functions. Furthermore, I will consider the inclusion of effective range corrections and the relevance for further calculations in atomic and nuclear physics.
