Abstract

The elastic scattering properties of three bosons at low energy enter the many-body description of ultracold Bose gases via the three-body scattering hypervolume D. We study this quantity for identical bosons that interact via a pairwise finite-range potential. Our calculations cover the regime from strongly repulsive potentials towards attractive potentials supporting multiple two-body bound states and are consistent with the few existing predictions for D. We present a numerical confirmation of the universal predictions for D in the strongly interacting regime, where Efimov physics dominates, for a local nonzero-range potential. Our findings highlight how D is influenced by three-body quasibound states with strong d-wave or g-wave characteristics in the weakly interacting regime.
