A remarkable transition occurs in the properties of liquid helium at the temperature 2.17 K, called the "lambda point" for helium. Part of the liquid becomes a "superfluid", a zero viscosity fluid which will move rapidly through any pore in the apparatus. 2, record 1, English, - superfluid%20liquid%20helium

L'objectif principal est de reproduire de façon la plus fidèle possible les conditions réelles d'utilisation des capteurs dans le LHC [Large Hadron Collider] : les thermomètres sont irradiés à basse température (immergés dans l'hélium liquide superfluide à 1,8 K), avec des doses totales (1015 n.cm-2) et des spectres en énergie (1 à 10 MeV) de neutrons proches de ceux attendus dans le collisionneur. 1, record 1, French, - h%C3%A9lium%20liquide%20superfluide
