Wepresentmeasurements of the dissipative turbulent drag on a vibrating grid in superfluid 4He over awide range of (low) frequencies. At high velocities, the dissipative drag is independent of frequency and is approximately the same as that measured in normal liquid 4He. We present measurements on a similar grid in superfluid 3He-B at low temperatures which shows an almost identical turbulent dr...

Precision measurements in muon capture on 3He to the triton channel provide for interesting tests of the charged electroweak interaction, whether within the Standard Model or beyond it. Based on the statistical capture rate and the triton asymmetry, both the object of recent and on-going experiments using polarised 3He targets, examples of such tests are presented, and shown to lead to stringen...

A K-3He co-magnetometer has been developed for a test of Lorentz and CPT symmetry. Polarized K vapor forms a spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) magnetometer that has record sensitivity of about 1 fT/ √ Hz. The polarized 3He effectively suppresses sensitivity to the magnetic fields and gradients. Together, the K-3He comagnetometer retains sensitivity to anomalous, CPTand Lorentz-violating fiel...

The heat capacity of pure 3He in low density aerogel is measured at 22.5 bars. The superfluid response is simultaneously monitored with a torsional oscillator. A slightly rounded heat capacity peak, 65 microK in width, is observed at the 3He-aerogel superfluid transition, T(ca). Subtracting the bulk 3He contribution, the heat capacity shows a Fermi-liquid form above T(ca). We can fit the heat c...

it has been shown that the boltzmann equation for the viscosity of the a-phase of superfluid 3he at low temperatures has the same form as for a normal ferrni liquid. the viscosity coefficients a, b, c, d and e are derived exactly. the h , parameter plays an important role in determining the temperature dependence of the viscosity coefficients

Hyperpolarized noble gases are used in a variety of applications including medical diagnostic lung imaging, tests of fundamental symmetries, spin filters, atomic gyroscopes, and atomic magnetometers. Typically 3He is utilized because large 3He polarizations on the order of 80% can be achieved. This is accomplished by optically pumping an alkali vapour which polarizes a noble gas nucleus via spi...

By the use of the f sum rule and a separation of density excitations into single and multiple excitations, we derive exact quantum expressions for the ~ backflow contribution to the dynamic structure function S(k, co) and for the discrete single-excitation spectrum ok:. The derivation is carried out for Bose liquids, Fermi liquids, charged quantum liquids, quantum solutions, an impurity atom di...

We show that there are restrictions on the maximum tipping angle that can be used without significantly raising the temperature of the 3He distribution in high B/T spin-echo experiments with pure liquid 3He and 3He-4He solutions. The temperature increase occurs during the diffusion process as quasiparticles in mixed-spin states are scattered and converted into thermal excitations at the spin-up...
