Abstract
Results obtained by the authors in recent works on the exploration of universality in systems living inside the Efimov window are critically analyzed. We discuss how to take into account finite-range corrections by introducing a finite-range parameter necessary to make comparisons to the universal predictions of the Efimov zero-range theory. Firstly we apply our analysis to two different calculations published by other authors. The first one has been used with success to describe ultracold Cs atoms close to a Feshbach resonance and the second one describes a four 4He atom system with a realistic interaction. Finally we use the finite-range parameter to analyze recombination data in experiments with ultracold 7Li atoms. The three selected cases support the introduction of the finite-range parameter as a valuable tool to extend the use of the zero-range theory to describe systems having finite-range interactions.
