Abstract
The second Virial coefficient in both classical and quantum regimes of 4He gas is investigated in the temperature range 4.2–10 K. Full quantum mechanical and classical treatments are undertaken to calculate this coefficient. The main input in computing the quantum coefficient is the “effective” phase shifts. These are determined within the framework of the Galitskii–Migdal–Feynman formalism, using two interatomic potentials. The borderline between the classical and quantum regimes is found to depend on the temperature, the number density, and the interparticle potential.
