BEC, Excitations, Superfluidity Bose Einstein Condensation (neutrons) 1968- Collective Phonon-Roton modes (neutrons) 1958- Superfluidity (torsional oscillators) ` 1938- He in porous media integral part of historical superflow measurements.
BEC, Phonon-roton modes and Superfluidity Scientific Goals: • Observe BEC and Phonon-roton modes in bulk liquid helium and in helium in porous media (also layer modes in porous media) • Explore the interdependence of BEC, well defined phonon-roton modes and superflow. • BEC is the origin superflow. Well defined p-r modes exist because there is BEC.
BEC, Superfluidity and Superfluidity Organization of Talk • Bulk liquid 4He. Measurements of : - superfluidity (historically first) - phonon-roton modes - BEC BEC, P-R modes, superflow coincide. • Measurements in Porous Media (Bosons in disorder) -P-R modes -BEC (just starting) P-R modes and BEC exist at temperatures above superfluid phase in PM. (TC < T < TC ) P-R modes exist where there is BEC.

SUPERFLUID: Bulk Liquid SF Fraction s(T) Critical Temperature Tλ = 2.17 K
Landau Theory of Superfluidity Superfluidity follows from the nature of the excitations: - that there are phonon-roton excitations only and no other low energy excitations to which superfluid can decay. - have a critical velocity and an energy gap (roton gap ).

BEC, Excitations and Superfluidity • Bulk Liquid 4He • 1. Bose-Einstein Condensation, • 2. Well-defined phonon-roton modes, at Q > 0.8 Å-1 • 3. Superfluidity • All co-exist in same p and T range. • They have same “critical” temperature, • Tλ = 2.17 K SVP • Tλ = 1.76 K 25 bar
Excitations, BEC, and Superfluidity Bose-Einstein Condensation: Superfluidity follows from BEC. An extended condensate has a well defined magnitude and phase, <ψ> = √n0eιφ; vs~ grad φ Bose-Einstein Condensation : Well defined phonon-roton modes follow from BEC. Single particle and P-R modes have the same energy when there is BEC. When there is BEC there are no low energy single particle modes. Landau Theory: Superfluidity follows from existence of well defined phonon-roton modes. The P-R mode is the only mode in superfluid 4He. Energy gap

P-R modes and BEC: Conclusions • At 34 bar P-R modes exist up a specific temperature only, T = 1.5 K, a temperature that is identified as Tc (BEC), critical temperature for BEC. • The intensity in the mode decreases with increasing T without mode broadening and vanishes at Tc (BEC), because Tc (BEC) is so low at 34 bars. • At 34 bar the response of normal liquid is like that of a classical fluid (the intensity peaks near ω = 0) 3. Phonon-roton modes at higher wave vector exist at temperatures and pressures where there is BEC.

Localization of Bose-Einstein Condensation in disorder Conclusions: • Observe phonon-roton modes and BEC up to T ~ Tλ in porous media, i.e. above Tc for superfluidity. • Well defined phonon-roton modes exist because there is a condensate. Thus have BEC above Tcin porous media, in the temperature range Tc< T <Tλ= 2.17 K VycorTc = 2.05 K gelsil (44 Å) Tc = 1.92 K gelsil (25 Å) Tc = 1.3 K • At temperatures above Tc - BEC is localized by disorder - No superflow
