Abstract

It is shown that fluctuations above the superfluid transition in liquid3He depend strongly upon the relative angular momentum1 for which Cooper pairing occurs. The effects may be calculated for any value of1 and they should be observable in the static magnetization, viscosity, and spin diffusion coefficient, giving a means of determining1. Conclusions to be drawn from existing experiments are discussed.
