Renormalization of a Finite Range Inverse Cube Potential

Abstract

We study the regularization and renormalization of a finite range inverse cube potential in the two- and three-body sectors. Specifically, we compare and contrast three different regulation schemes frequently used to study few-body systems as well as the associated renormalization group flows. We also calculate bound state and scattering observables over a wide range of cutoffs, demonstrating the sufficiency of a two-body contact interaction to renormalize two- and three-body observables. We supplement these plots with quantified analyses of the observables' residual cutoff dependence.
