Contribution
It provides high-resolution experimental data that align with theoretical models, addressing a long-standing inconsistency in atomic kinetic energy measurements.
Findings
Experimental data agree with theoretical predictions.
Resolved previous discrepancies in atomic kinetic energy estimates.
Demonstrated the effectiveness of accounting for instrumental resolution and final state effects.
Abstract
We present high-resolution neutron Compton scattering measurements of liquid He below its renormalized Fermi temperature. Theoretical predictions are in excellent agreement with the experimental data when instrumental resolution and final state effects are accounted for. Our results resolve the long-standing inconsistency between theoretical and experimental estimates of the average atomic kinetic energy.
