An experimental <physicist> who coauthored measurements of <zero sound> in liquid <helium-3>. At sufficiently low temperature, collisions become too infrequent to maintain ordinary local equilibrium during an acoustic cycle. The resulting collective response tests the theory of a <Fermi liquid> through propagation of a density disturbance.<Propagation of Zero Sound in Liquid He3 at Low Temperatures by William Russell Abel and others>[Original 1966 low-temperature sound-propagation report]{ref}
