The heteronuclear Efimov effect

Ultracold quantum gases with large scattering length show resonant enhancement of three-body loss rates when an Efimov trimer is at the scattering threshold. We calculate the three-body loss rates in heteronuclear mixtures of atoms for the case of large scattering length between the unlike atoms....
