First sound velocity in liquid ^{4}He

Abstract

Based on the many-boson system structure factor, which takes into account three- and four-particle direct correlations, there was found the first sound velocity temperature behaviour in liquid ^{4}He in the post-RPA approximation. The expression received for the sound velocity matches with the well-known results in both low and high temperature limits. The results of this paper can be used to analyze the contributions of three- and four-particle correlations into thermodynamic and structural features of liquid ^{4}He.
