Heat capacity experiment for very high resolution tests of the theory of confined materials.

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.
