We combine theory and experiment to investigate five-body recombination in an ultracold gas of atomic cesium. A refined theoretical model, in combination with extensive laboratory tunability of the scattering length, enables the five-body resonant recombination rate to be calculated and measured. The position of the new observed recombination maximum agrees with a recent theoretical prediction and strongly supports the prediction of a family of universal cluster states tied to an Efimov trimer.
