Abstract

We report dynamical calculations for large-qq structure functions of liquid 4^4He at TT=1.6 and 2.3 K and compare those with recent MARI data. We extend those calculations far beyond the experimental range q29\Ainq\le 29\Ain in order to study the approach of the response to its asymptotic limit for a system with interactions having a strong short-range repulsion. We find only small deviations from theoretical 1/q1/q behavior, valid for smooth VV. We repeat an extraction by Glyde et al of cumulant coefficients from data. We argue that fits determine the single atom momentum distribution, but express doubt as to the extraction of meaningful Final State Interaction parameters.
