High-energy resolution inelastic neutron scattering data on
excitations in superfluid and normal at SVP at wave vectors Q
beyond the roton,
, are
presented. The narrow energy resolution of these measurements reveals
that the energy of the elementary excitation comes up to twice the
roton energy,
, at
and the energy remains
constant at
between
and the end point of
the dispersion curve at
. The width of the peak is also
unobservably small from
out to the end point,
.
