| Theoretical Determination of the Mass of a Roton  | | | | Abstract
| For 56 years, researchers have sought, with varied success, to determine the mass of a roton. However, with the recent emergence of the author's theory of superfluid 4 He, the time may soon be at hand when the roton's mass is determined unequivocally. This letter reports the first quantitative results of the new theory of helium II. Using data from a neutron scattering experiment, the mass of a roton was calculated. It was found that the roton mass is 2.12 x 10 -* 7 kg or approximately 0.32 m He , where m He is the mass of a helium atom. | | | |
