We report on the observation of triatomic Efimov resonances in an ultracold gas of cesium atoms. Exploiting the wide tunability of interactions resulting from three broad Feshbach resonances in the same spin channel, we measure magnetic-field dependent three-body recombination loss. The positions of the loss resonances yield corresponding values for the three-body parameter, which in universal few-body physics is required to describe three-body phenomena and, in particular, to fix the spectrum of Efimov states. Our observations show a robust universal behavior with a three-body parameter that stays essentially constant.

Comparison of Bioelectrical Impedance Analyser (BIA) with Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA) Scan in Assessing the Body Composition of Adult Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

Introduction: Assessing the body composition is important in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus to prevent and achieve optimum control during treatment. Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), being a more affordable method of assessing the body composition, should therefore be compared with the gold standard dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) to look for a correlation between the two and the potential of BIA to be used widely in this population. A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 60 patients attending the endocrinology outpatient department (OPD) of a tertiary care centre in Kolkata, India.

Many excited states in the hadron spectrum have large branching ratios to three-hadron final states. Understanding such particles from first principles QCD requires input from lattice QCD with one-, two-, and three-meson interpolators as well as a reliable three-body formalism relating finite-volume spectra at unphysical pion mass values to the scattering amplitudes at the physical point. In this work, we provide the first-ever calculation of the resonance parameters of the ω meson from lattice QCD, including an update of the formalism through matching to effective field theories.

Three-body recombination reactions, in which two particles form a bound state while a third one bounces off after the collision, play significant roles in many fields, such as cold and ultracold chemistry, astrochemistry, atmospheric physics, and plasma physics. In this work, the dynamics of the recombination reaction for the N system over a wide temperature range (5000-20,000 K) are investigated in detail using the quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method based on recently developed full-dimensional potential energy surfaces. The recombination products are N() + N() in the 1″ state, N() + N() in the 2″ state, and N() + N() in both the 1″ and 2″ states.

Context: We explore the influence of strongly hydrophilic confinement on various properties of water, such as density, enthalpy, potential energy, radial distribution function, entropy, specific heat capacity, structural dynamics, and transition temperatures (freezing and melting temperatures), using monatomic water (mW) model. The properties of water are found to be dependent on confinement and the wall-fluid surface interaction. Hysteresis loops are observed for density, enthalpy, potential energy, and entropy around the transition temperatures, while the size of hysteresis loops varies with confinement and surface interaction.

Symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) directly computes intermolecular interaction energy in terms of electrostatics, exchange-repulsion, induction/polarization, and London dispersion components. In SAPT based on Hartree-Fock ("SAPT0") or based on density functional theory, the most time-consuming step is the computation of the dispersion terms. Previous work has explored the replacement of these expensive dispersion terms with simple damped asymptotic models.
