Abstract
The zero-point kinetic energy of liquid helium has been calculated from the interatomic potential, the latent heat of vaporization, and atomic distributions derived from neutron diffraction measurements. Calculations were carried out for two liquid temperatures and several published interatomic potential functions. The resulting values of the "zero-point temperature" lie between 9.0°K. and 12.6°K.Keywords
