A Re-examination of Quenches in ${}^4$He

Abstract

In the light of recent difficulties in observing vortices in quenches of liquid ${}^4$He to its superfluid state we re-examine the Zurek scenario for their production. We find that the standard prediction is suspect because of a confusion over correlation lengths.
