Abstract
We have investigated the effect that dissipation may have on the cavitation process in normal liquid He. Our results indicate that a rather small dissipation decreases sizeably the quantum-to-thermal crossover temperature for cavitation in normal liquid He. This is a possible explanation why recent experiments have not yet found clear evidence of quantum cavitation at temperatures below the predicted by calculations which neglect dissipation.
