Abstract
During the past decade there has been considerable progress in the study of the structure and elementary excitations of liquid helium. This has largely arisen from the development and refinement of neutron, X-ray and light scattering techniques and also from more detailed ultrasonic measurements. A large part of this review is concerned with describing the results of these experiments and their implications for theories of liquid helium. During the last few years there has also been considerable progress made in the theory of the excitations in liquid helium. These developments are briefly reviewed and the most promising lines of development indicated.
