Three particles in a finite volume

The volume-dependence of a shallow three-particle bound state in the cubic box with a size $L$ is studied. It is shown that, in the unitary limit, the energy-level shift from the infinite-volume position is given by $ΔE=c (κ^2/m)\,(κL)^{-3/2}|A|^2 \exp(-2κL/\sqrt{3})$, where $κ$ is the bound-state momentum and $|A|^2$ denotes the three-body analog of the asymptotic normalization constant, which encodes the information about the short-range interactions in the three-body system.
