Kroeger, H.; Perne, R.

Amado and Greenwood have shown that there is no Efimov effect for four or more particles. The present authors use an (n-1)-fold successive separable approximation (nssa) to the general n-body operator identities. They find that for the conditions considered the necessary condition for the existence of an infinite number of n-body bound levels (n > or = 4) is not violated. The nssa reduces the n-body to an effective two-body phase space. It is concluded that the appearance of the Efimov effect is not restricted to three-body systems. (RWR)
