The Momentum Distribution of Liquid $^3$He

Other Condensed Matter 2016-11-23 v1

Abstract

We present high-resolution neutron Compton scattering measurements of liquid 3^3He below its renormalized Fermi temperature. Theoretical predictions are in excellent agreement with the experimental data when instrumental resolution and final state effects are accounted for. Our results resolve the long-standing inconsistency between theoretical and experimental estimates of the average atomic kinetic energy.
