Quantum turbulence in superfluid {sup 3}He illuminated by a beam of quasiparticle excitations

Abstract

We have measured directly the Andreev scattering of a controllable beam of quasiparticle excitations by a localized tangle of quantum vortices in superfluid {sup 3}He-B at low temperatures. We present a microscopic description of the Andreev scattering from a vortex line allowing us to estimate the vortex separation scale in a dilute tangle of vortices, providing a better comparison of the observed decay time of the turbulence with recent numerical simulations. The experiments also suggest that below 200 {mu}K we reach the low temperature limit for turbulent dynamics.
