Atomic hydrogen on the surface of superfluid helium: the sticking probability and polaronic behavior

A study is made of the interaction between hydrogen atoms and the surface elementary excitations of superfluid "He. Calculations for the sticking probability and for the energy and effective mass of a hydrogen atom bound to the surface are presented. As a first step in the calculations, we for...
