Phonon-Quasiparticle Interactions in Dilute Solutions ofHe3in SuperfluidHe4: III. Attenuation of First Sound Above 0.2°K

Abstract
Utilizing a previously developed phonon Boltzmann equation we extend to higher temperatures an earlier calculation of first sound attenuation in dilute solutions of He3 in superfluid He4. The present calculation takes into account thermal phonon-He3 scattering and is valid up to about 0.7°K. The results are in good overall agreement with experiment.
