- Abstract summary: We show that the trimer energy level rebounds from the atom-dimer continuum and becomes a deeper bound state again.
This provides a new challenge and guide for few-body theories to incorporate realistic interatomic potentials.

- Abstract: The Efimov effect, with its ladder of weakly bound three-atomic molecules,
poses intriguing questions in the theoretically controversial and
experimentally demanding regime of merging of the first excited Efimov energy
level with the atom-dimer continuum. Using an original experimental technique,
where a coherent superposition state of diatomic and triatomic molecules is
utilized, we investigate this regime and reveal a striking behavior: Instead of
merging with the atom-dimer continuum the trimer energy level rebounds from it
and becomes a deeper bound state again. In addition, instead of a tangential
approach between the two levels we observe a rather narrow resonance, providing
a new challenge and guide for few-body theories to incorporate realistic
interatomic potentials.

We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
