Summary

The authors report the current status of an experiment to measure the heat capacity of helium confined within a stack of evenly spaced silicon plates at temperatures very close to the superfluid transition. Newly developed high-resolution thermometry has substantially improved their ability to look into regions where three-dimensional crosses over to two-dimensional behaviour and where two-dimensional behaviour dominates.
