Abstract

We study the scattering of atoms, rotons and phonons at the free surface of superfluid4He. We calculate the evaporation, condensation and reflection probabilities in the framework of linearized time dependent density functional theory accounting for elastic one-to-one processes. We explore the angular dependence of the scattering probabilities showing that most results are independent of the incidence angle and can be expressed in terms of a single energy dependent parameter.
