Energies and widths of Efimov states in the three-boson continuum
arXiv:2101.12654 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevC.102.034003
Abstract
Three-boson Efimov physics is well known in the bound-state regime, but far less in the three-particle continuum at negative two-particle scattering length where Efimov states evolve into resonances. They are studied solving rigorous three-particle scattering equations for transition operators in the momentum space. The dependence of the three-boson resonance energy and width on the two-boson scattering length is studied with several force models. The universal limit is determined numerically considering highly excited states; simple parametrizations for the resonance energy and width in terms of the scattering length are established. Decreasing the attraction, the resonances rise not much above the threshold but broaden rapidly and become physically unobservable, evolving into subthreshold resonances. Finite-range effects are studied and related to those in the bound-state regime.
