Intrinsic Critical Velocity of a Superfluid
Abstract
A fluctuation theory of the intrinsic critical velocity of a superfluid near the lambda point is developed in analogy with the droplet model of condensation of a supersaturated vapor. For the superfluid, vortex rings play the role of critical droplets in homogeneously nucleating transitions to states of lower superflow. A quantitative estimate is in reasonable agreement with recent experiments on helium.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
