Abstract

Utilizing a previously developed phonon Boltzmann equation we extend to higher temperatures an earlier calculation of first sound attenuation in dilute solutions of ${\mathrm{He}}^{3}$ in superfluid ${\mathrm{He}}^{4}$. The present calculation takes into account thermal phonon-${\mathrm{He}}^{3}$ scattering and is valid up to about 0.7\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K. The results are in good overall agreement with experiment.
