Abstract
It is shown within the framework of mean-field theory that the gas of roton excitations in superfluid helium becomes unstable at a critical temperatureT c if the roton-roton interaction is attractive. The instability is characterized by a singularity of the specific heat and signals the transition into the normal fluid state. The roton energy gap remains finite atT c .
