Abstract
We treat as an effective three-body system and compute the -wave scattering length and three-body separation energy of for a wide variety of nucleon-nucleon and -nucleon potentials which have the same (or nearly the same) phase shifts. The Coulomb interaction in the subsystem is omitted. The results of all calculations lie on a one-parameter curve in the plane defined by the -wave scattering length and the amount by which is bound with respect to the threshold. We argue that these aspects of the system can be understood using few-body universality and that can thus usefully be thought of as a two-nucleon halo nucleus.
