Efimovian three-body potential from broad to narrow Feshbach resonances

Abstract

We analyse the change in the hyperradial Efimovian three-body potential as the two-body interaction is tuned from the broad to narrow Feshbach resonance regime. Here, it is known from both theory and experiment that the three-body dissociation scattering length $a_{-}$ shifts away from the universal value of $-9.7r_{\mathrm{vdW}}$, with $r_{\mathrm{vdW}}=\frac{1}{2}{\left(m{C}_6/{\hslash }^2\right)}^{1/4}$ the two-body van der Waals range. We model the three-body system using a separable two-body interaction that takes into account the full zero-energy behaviour of the multichannel wave function. We find that the short-range repulsive barrier in the three-body potential characteristic for single-channel models remains universal for narrow resonances, whilst the change in the three-body parameter originates from a strong decrease in the potential depth. From an analysis of the underlying spin structure we further attribute this behavior to the dominance of the two-body interaction in the resonant channel compared to other background interactions.
