Few-Body Universality in Strong Interaction Physics
Hans-Werner Hammer (TU Darmstadt & EMMI)


I will discuss universality in few-body systems governed by the strong interaction. In the unitary limit of infinite scattering length, the interaction does not provide a length scale. Many systems in nature display universal properties associated with this idealized limit.
I will discuss recent progress and future challenges in this field with an emphasis on hadronic molecules and halo nuclei.
