We report dynamical calculations for large-$q$ structure functions of liquid $^4$He at $T$=1.6 and 2.3 K and compare those with recent MARI data. We extend those calculations far beyond the experimental range $q\le 29\Ain$ in order to study…
Nitric oxide is an open-shell molecule abundantly detected in the interstellar medium. A precise modeling of its radiative and collisional processes opens the path to a precise estimate of its abundance. We present here the first rate…

Torsional oscillator experiments show evidence of mass decoupling in solid 4He. This decoupling is amplitude dependent, suggesting a critical velocity for supersolidity. We observe similar behavior in the elastic shear modulus. By measuring…
