Abstract
We have found the precise stability region of the half quantum vortex (HQV) for superfluid He A phase confined in parallel plates with a narrow gap under rotation. Standard Ginzburg-Landau free energy, which is well established, is solved to locate the stability region spanned by temperature and rotation speed (). This - stability region is wide enough to check it experimentally in available experimental setup. The detailed order parameter structure of HQV characterized by A core is given to facilitate the physical reasons of its stability over other vortices or textures.
