Spatial Distribution of Atoms in LiquidHe4

Abstract

The x-ray scattering diagrams of liquid helium, obtained by one of the authors, have been analyzed in this paper using the Los Alamos "701" IBM Electronic Calculator. The liquid ${\mathrm{He}}^4$ atomic correlation and pair distribution functions have thus been obtained over a wide range of interatomic separations and at a number of liquid temperatures between 1.25 and 4.20°K.
