Effective field theory allows for a systematic and model-independent derivation of the forces between nucleons in harmony with the symmetries of quantum chromodynamics. The …
A recent rejuvenation of experimental and theoretical interest in the physics of few-body systems has provided deep, fundamental insights into a broad range of problems. Few-body …

Few-body physics has played a prominent role in atomic, molecular and nuclear physics since the early days of quantum mechanics. It is now possible—thanks to tremendous …
The problem of three interacting quantal bodies, in its various guises, seems deceptively simple, but it has also provided striking surprises, such as the Efimov effect,, which was …
We report on the measurement of four-body recombination rate coefficients in an atomic gas. Our results obtained with an ultracold sample of cesium atoms at negative scattering lengths …
Few-body systems with large scattering length have universal properties that do not depend on the details of their interactions at short distances. We study the universal bound-state …
Ultracold atomic gases have developed into prime systems for experimental studies of Efimov three-body physics and related few-body phenomena, which occur in the universal …
We argue that many features of the structure of nuclei emerge from a strictly perturbative expansion around the unitarity limit, where the two-nucleon S waves have bound states at …
