<b>Fate of the Neutron-Deuteron Virtual State as an Efimov Level </b><br>
<br>
The emergence of Efimov levels in a three-body system is
investigated near the unitarity limit characterized <br>
by resonating two-body interaction. The triton was one of the
three-body systems studied by Efimov. No direct <br>
evidence of Efimov levels was found as triton is the only physical
bound state in this system. However, this system<br>
supports a virtual state. We show that the virtual state evolves
into a shallow bound state emerging as an excited <br>
triton as we drive the system towards unitarity. We provide a
model-independent analysis at low energy by formulating <br>
a consistent effective field theory for neutron-deuteron
scattering. The results presented are universal to atomic, <br>
nuclear and particle physics though we considered a particular
system to study the emergence of the Efimov levels. <br>
