We show that the N -particle A N −1 and B N rational Calogero models without the harmonic interaction admit a new class of bound and scattering states. These states owe their existence to the self-adjoint extensions of the corresponding Hamiltonians, labelled by e iz where z ∈ R (mod 2π). It is shown that the new states appear for all values of N and for specific ranges of the coupling constants. Moreover, they are shown to exist even in the excited sectors of the Calogero models. The self-adjoint extension generically breaks the classical scaling symmetry, leading to quantum mechanical scaling anomaly. The scaling symmetry can however be restored for certain values of the parameter z. We also generalize these results for many particle systems with classically scale invariant long range interactions in arbitrary dimensions.
