Universal Relation for the Inelastic Two-Body Loss Rate

Eric Braaten (Ohio State U.)

Strongly-interacting systems consisting of particles that interact through a large scattering length satisfy universal relations that relate many of their central properties to the contact, which measures the number of pairs with small separations.  We use the operator product expansion of quantum field theory to derive the universal relation for the inelastic 2-body loss rate.
