A cold beam of He-* (2 S-3(1)) atoms is used at grazing incidence to study the quantum reflection on a flat polished silicon surface. We measure the reflectivity as a function of the normal incident velocity component between 3 and 30 cm/s. Our result is in reasonable agreement with a calculation of the attractive van der Waals surface potential using the dielectric function of Si and the dipole polarizability of He-*. We discuss the influence of the conductivity and of a thin oxide layer on the potential. By comparing our data to those previously measured with Ne-* atoms, we are also able to confirm the scaling of the reflectivity with atomic mass.
