Zero-range theory: Borromean states are in principle possible!
We need to determine which conditions in the finite-range potentials leads to this possibility.

Conclusion
• Weakly bound clusters near the critical binding of two particles form an exotic yet universal class of states, where the Efimov attraction is a central paradigm.
• We want to explore these universal clusters with higher angular momentum and in many-body systems.
• They can be realised experimentally with cold atoms, and help us to understand general clustering mechanisms.
