Abstract

$N$-body non efimovian bound or quasi-bound states for particles with short range interactions are considered in arbitrary dimensions. The different resonance regimes near the threshold are depicted by using a generalization of the effective range approximation. This two-parameter description can be used in various contexts from ultracold to hadronic physics. The universal character of these states makes it possible a formulation in terms of a contact model. The singularity at the contact imposes the introduction of a modified scalar product to solve the normalization catastrophe and to restore the self-adjoint character of the model. An equivalence with the standard scalar product used for realistic finite range models is derived.

Author indications on fulfilling journal expectations

  • Provide a novel and synergetic link between different research areas.
  • Open a new pathway in an existing or a new research direction, with clear potential for multi-pronged follow-up work
  • Detail a groundbreaking theoretical/experimental/computational discovery
  • Present a breakthrough on a previously-identified and long-standing research stumbling block

Author comments upon resubmission

Dear Editor,

I have implemented the remark suggested by one of the referees concerning the crucial role played by the p-wave resonant character of the interaction between one neutron and the alpha particle in explaining the binding of the 6He halo state. For readers interested in further details and explanations, I referred to the discussions of sections 3.7-3.10 in Ref. [4] and I have also added the reference C.A. Bertulani, H.-W. Hammer, U. van Kolck, Nucl. Phys. A 712, 37 (2002).

In the new pdf that I send to you, all the changes are written in red color.

I hope that in this form, the manuscript is ready for publication.

Thank you for your work.
Best regards,

Ludovic Pricoupenko
