Résumé
On a mesuré la diffusion de neutrons par 4He liquide aux vecteurs d'onde de 0.80 ; 1,13 ; 1,30 et 1,40 Å-1 et aux temperatures de 1,00 ; 1,38 ; 1,77 ; 1,97 ; 2,07 ; 2,12 ; 2,15 ; 2,26 et 4,21 K. On peut voir un pic "uniphonon" dans toutes les distributions lorsque T < Tλ = 2,17 K mais ce pic est absent lorsque T > Tλ.


Abstract
The neutron scattering by liquid 4He for wave vectors of 0.80, 1.13, 1.30 and 1.40 Å-1 has been measured at 1.00, 1.38, 1.77, 1.97, 2.07, 2.12, 2.15, 2.26 and 4.21 K. A "one-phonon" peak is evident in all distributions for T < Tλ = 2.17 K but is absent for T > Tλ.
