摘要：

We derive a universal formula for the rate constant beta for relaxation of a shallow dimer into deeply-bound diatomic molecules in the case of atoms with a large scattering length a. We show that beta is determined by a and by 2 three-body parameters that also determine the binding energies and widths of Efimov states. The rate constant beta scales like (h) over bara/m near the resonance, but the coefficient is a periodic function of ln(a) that may have resonant enhancement at values of a that differ by multiples of 22.7.
