Abstract

It is shown that the drastic distinction in the rotational structure of molecules in the He4 and He3 liquids observed in [1] is due to the difference in the spectral density of excitations regardless of the hydrodynamic properties. The large width of rotational levels in the He3 is determined by particle-hole excitations whereas the small density of phonon excitations results only in the small broadening of levels in the He4.
