Efimov spectrum in bosonic systems with increasing number of particles

It is well-known that three-boson systems show the Efimov effect when the two-body scattering length $a$ is large with respect to the range of the two-body interaction. This effect is a manifestation of a discrete scaling invariance (DSI). In this work we study DSI in the $N$-body system by analysing the spectrum of $N$ identical bosons obtained with a pairwise gaussian interaction close to the unitary limit. We consider different universal ratios such as $E_N^0/E_3^0$ and $E_N^1/E_N^0$, with $E_N^i$ being the energy of the ground ($i=0$) and first-excited ($i=1$) state of the system, for $N\le16$. We discuss the extension of the Efimov radial law, derived by Efimov for $N=3$, to general $N$.
