Are there Efimov trimers in hexafluorobenzene rather than in benzene vapor itself?

Is there a spectroscopic method to detect an Efimov state? Following our proposal of an Efimov state arising from three pseudo bosons (generalized Cooper pairs) in benzene, our spectroscopic studies have found no evidence of Efimov trimers (ET) in h6- or d6-benzene. However, hexafluoro-benzene has s...

Description
Summary:Is there a spectroscopic method to detect an Efimov state? Following our proposal of an Efimov state arising from three pseudo bosons (generalized Cooper pairs) in benzene, our spectroscopic studies have found no evidence of Efimov trimers (ET) in h6- or d6-benzene. However, hexafluoro-benzene has shown peaks that we attributed to ET and the pseudo bosons. The experimental evidence suggests that benzene pseudo bosons and subsequently ET are quite sensitive to the surroundings.
