Note on the structure of liquid helium II

A more detailed analysis has been carried out of earlier results obtained in the scattering of X-radiation by liquid He II. When certain necessary corrections have been applied to these results and a comparison made with theoretical intensity distribution functions to be expected for certain ordered arrangements of atoms in a liquid, it is found that the arrangement of atoms in liquid He II most probably follows either a diamond or a simple cubic configuration. Considerations of energy and atomic volume render the former the more likely arrangement.
