Abstract
Measurements of the attenuation and velocity of pulsed high-frequency sound have been performed up to 133 MHz in superfluid -. A new collective mode of the order parameter was discovered at a frequency extrapolated to of , where is the energy gap in the weak-coupling BCS theory. The group velocity has been observed to decrease by as much as of the zero-sound velocity.
