Abstract

New measurements of parallel ringing in a quasi-ideal geometry for ³He-B near the temperature and pressure of the polycritical point suggest f_B²/f_A²∼5/2, where f_B and f_A are the linear parallel-ringing frequencies at a given temperature near T_c. This result approaches the prediction of theory using the Anderson-Brinkman-Morel and Balian-Werthamer states to describe ³He-A and ³He-B, respectively, and hence the results of Osheroff at melting pressure, but disagrees with earlier observations at pressures near the polycritical point.
