Efimov state in the /sup 4/He trimer

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
; ;
On the basis of a Faddeev calculation, an Efimov state is predicted to exist in /sup 4/He/sub 3/. This discovery represents the first manifestation of the Efimov effect and may have far-reaching consequences in the statistical mechanics of /sup 4/He gas at low temperatures.
