High energy phonons (ttw/k$lOK) and R+ rotons can be injected into liquid 4He by a thin film heater. It is shown that these excitations may interact with the large number of low energy phonons which are also emitted. The conditions for avoiding this are analysed and compared to measurements.

โฆ Synopsis
The system of equations that describes the temporal and spatial evolution of low-energy phonons (l-phonons) is obtained for the cases of plane and axial symmetry. From the solutions of these equations, we discuss the time-resolved measurements of the angular distribution of lphonons. These show a rather unusual mesa shape with a flat top in the direction normal to the heater. We consider that the flat top is due to the creation of high-energy phonons (h-phonons).

As a continuation of our previous experiments (l), the phase separation temperatures of dilute solution of 4He in liquid 3He have been measured with increased surface area in the cell, in order to estimate the amount of 4He adsorbed on the surface. The solubility of 4He below 200 mK is larger than t
