Efimov geometric scaling: E_{n+1}/E_n = exp(-2π/s_0)

Layer 1 — Physicsin the few-body-physics subtree

Efimov (1970) discovered an infinite geometric tower of three-body bound states in the unitary limit (two-body scattering length a → ±∞, s-wave resonance) for three identical bosons. The ratio of successive bound-state energies follows…
