Experimental realities refuting existence of p=0 condensate in a system of interacting bosons : I. Electron bubble

Abstract

Physical reality of the existence of electron bubble in liquid 4He (or 3He) renders a clear experimental evidence for a quantum particle (in an interacting environment as seen by electron in liquid helium) to occupy exclusively a space of size λ/2 that, obviously, depends on its energy/momentum. This unequivocally proves that no particle in a system of interacting bosons such as liquid 4He has momentum p=0; in stead, all particles in the ground state of such a system are in the single quantum state of energy o = h2/8md2 or momentum p = h/2d.
