Abstract
Low-dimensional behavior of two ultracold atoms trapped in two- and one-dimensional waveguides is investigated in the vicinity of a magnetic Feshbach resonance. A quantitative two-channel model for the Feshbach mechanism is used, allowing an exhaustive analysis of low-dimensional resonant scattering behavior and of the confinement-induced bound states. The role of the different parameters of the resonance is depicted in this context. Results are compared with those of the zero-range approach. The relevance of the effective range approximation in low dimensions is studied. Examples of known resonances are used to illustrate the bound-state properties.
