Abstract

We present a new, semi-phenomenological method to extract the condensate fraction n 0(T) from two sets of measured responses of 4He with identical kinematics at T<T c and T>T c. For the extraction of n 0 we use small and not asymptotic values of the relative coordinate in the single-atom density matrices.
