Abstract
The accommodation coefficient is calculated for H atoms scattering from a liquidHe surface. Sticking collisions are found to dominate the accommodation process. Calculated results are approximately a factor of 2 smaller than reported experimental results. A simple model describing the cooling of a flux of H atoms by a cold liquid-He-coated container is also presented.
