An effective field theory analysis of Efimov features in heteronuclear mixture of ultracold atomic gases*

Recent experimental studies have unveiled Efimov physics in ultracold atomic gases of heteronuclear mixtures. The recombination features of such atomic systems display universal correlations including discrete scaling invariance. We use Effective Field Theory (EFT) to study the Efimov features of the heteronuclear three-atom systems consisting of two identical bosons which interact with each other through a natural scattering length and with the third particle through a large scattering length. We compute the corrections to the universal correlations by perturbative insertions of the interspecies effective range and the intraspecies scattering length. Such an analysis is relevant for mixtures of ultracold atomic gases near the interspecies Feshbach resonance.
