Excitations, BEC, and partially ordered states of liquid 4He in disorder

DOI

We propose measurements of the elementary phonon-roton (p-r) excitations of liquid 4He confined in porous MCM-41 (45 Å pore diameter) at wave vectors Q ¿ beyond the roton¿, 2.4 < Q 2.15 Å-1. The aim is to determine the mode energy, weight and its end point in Q. Measurements at lower Q suggest that there is Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) at temperatures above Tc in the normal liquid phase, interpreted as ¿ localized¿ BEC, a partially ordered state in porous media. This is a resubmission of RB720471 performed in september 2008. RB720471 could not be completed because of cryogenic problems, not sufficiently to collect useable data and backgrounds. However, if the cryogenics does work well and enable us to get to 0. 5 K, this experiment will certainly be successful.
