Abstract
We have investigated the quantum-to-thermal crossover temperature T* for cavitation in liquid helium mixtures up to 0.05 3He concentrations. With respect to the pure 4He case, T* is sizeably reduced, to a value below 50 mK for 3He concentrations above 0.02. As in pure 4He, the homogeneous cavitation pressure is systematically found close to the spinodal pressure.
