An Effective Theory for the Four-body System with Short-range Interactions
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the application of an effective theory with contact interactions to the nonrelativistic four-body system with short-range interactions. We have computed the binding energies of the 4He tetramer and the α-particle. A well-known linear correlation between threeand four-body binding energies can be understood as a result of the absence of a four-body force at leading order within this framework. Further, we give results for the binding energies of the four-boson system in two spatial dimensions.

Few-Body Systems and the Pionless Effective Field Theory
The pionless effective field theory (EFT) is the appropriate low-energy EFT for short-range interactions that display a large scattering length. It has been successfully applied in atomic, nuclear and particle physics. We give an overview over recent calculations employing the pionless effective field theory and lay emphasis on applications in the threeand four-body sector where the most exciti...
متن کاملModeling thermodynamic properties of electrolytes: Inclusion of the mean spherical approximation (MSA) in the simplified SAFT equation of state
In this work, an equation of state has been utilized for thermodynamic modeling of aqueous electrolyte solutions. The proposed equation of state is a combination of simplified statistical associating fluid theory (SAFT) equation of state (similar to simplified PC-SAFT) to describe the effect of short-range interactions and mean spherical approximation (MSA) term to describe the effect of long-r...
متن کاملFew-body physics in effective field theory
Effective Field Theory (EFT) provides a powerful framework that exploits a separation of scales in physical systems to perform systematically improvable, model-independent calculations. Particularly interesting are few-body systems with short-range interactions and large two-body scattering length. Such systems display remarkable universal features. In systems with more than two particles, a th...

متن کاملLow-Energy Universality in Atomic and Nuclear Physics
An effective field theory developed for systems interacting through short-range interactions can be applied to systems of cold atoms with a large scattering length and to nucleons at low energies. It is therefore the ideal tool to analyze the universal properties associated with the Efimov effect in threeand four-body systems. In this progress report, we will discuss recent results obtained wit...
