Measurements of the collective excitations of liquid helium have led to a detailed understanding of the microscopic dynamics in both the normal and superfluid phases. Inelastic neutron scattering has proven to be one of the most useful tools in studying these excitations. It is proposed to extend these studies to negative pressures. At low negative pressure the liquid is metastable, allowing measurements to be carried out. At larger negative pressures (around 9 bars), the speed of sound approaches zero and the liquid is no longer stable. Macroscopic samples (one or more cc. in volume) of liquid He at negative pressure will be created using a novel expansion cell. The time structure of a typical short-pulse neutron source will be used to carry out inelastic n scattering measurements in the interval between pressure equilibration and the nucleation of gas bubbles.

对液氦的集体激发的测量导致了对正常和超流体阶段微观动力学的详细理解。非弹性中子散射已被证明是研究这些激发最有用的工具之一。建议将这些研究扩展到负压。在低负压下，液体是亚稳的，可以进行测量。在较大的负压下（约9巴），声速接近于零，液体不再稳定。宏观样品（一个或多个cc体积）的液体He在负压下将创建使用新型膨胀电池。利用典型短脉冲中子源的时间结构，在压力平衡和气泡成核之间进行非弹性n散射测量。
