Abstract
"Surface sound," a longitudinal compressional wave in adsorbed on the surface of superfluid , has been propagated in the temperature range from 20 to 120 mK. Measurements of the surface-sound velocity and of the surface tension are compared to a model of interacting surface quasiparticles. A least-squares fit to the model is used to obtain the binding energy, K, the effective mass, , and some limits on the sign and magnitude of the effective interaction between the quasiparticles. The interaction is found to be very weak and predominantly repulsive at large distances.
