Droplets of bosons at a narrow resonance

We consider bosons interacting through a narrow ๐‘ -wave resonance. Such a resonance is characterized by an infinite scattering length and a large and negative effective range ๐‘Ÿ0. We argue that any number ๐‘โ‰ฅ3 of bosons can form a self-bound cluster with the binding energy per particle increasing as ๐‘2...

Description
Summary:We consider bosons interacting through a narrow ๐‘ -wave resonance. Such a resonance is characterized by an infinite scattering length and a large and negative effective range ๐‘Ÿ0. We argue that any number ๐‘โ‰ฅ3 of bosons can form a self-bound cluster with the binding energy per particle increasing as ๐‘2 for 1โ‰ช๐‘โ‰ช(โˆ’๐‘Ÿ0/๐‘Žbg)1/2, where ๐‘Žbg is the background scattering length (between atoms and molecules). In the opposite limit ๐‘โ‰ซ(โˆ’๐‘Ÿ0/๐‘Žbg)1/2, bosons form droplets with binding energy per particle saturating to a constant value independent of the particle number. The stability of clusters and droplets when the interaction is detuned from the resonance is also studied.
