Resumen
The universal character of non-relativistic large three-body bosonic systems is addressed, with focus on highly interesting situations that occur in low-energy nuclear and atomic physics. Investigations on the trajectory of the first excited Efimov state, in a renormalized zero-range three-body model for a system with two bound and one virtual two-body subsystems, are reported. The approach is applied to n-n-18C, where the n - n virtual energy and the three-body ground state are kept fixed. It is shown that the real part of the elastic s-wave phase-shift (δ0) presents a zero, or a pole in k cot δ0, when the system has an Efimov excited or virtual state. A brief discussion is given on the relevance of the approach for ultracold atom physics with tunable scattering lengths. © 2009 World Scientific Publishing Company.
