We have used the results of a previous paper by Goble and Trainor to compute the density dependence of the hard-core Bose–Einstein gas in the t-matrix ladder approximation, utilizing the coordinate-space method of Brueckner and Sawada as modified by Parry and ter Haar, and the pseudopotential treatment of the hard-core boundary condition presented by Liu and Wong. Various thermodynamic parameters of these model systems are compared with the properties of liquid helium four. The disagreements which are found are shown to be primarily related to differences in the magnitudes of the Landau parameters.

On a qualitative basis we have examined the identification of the properties of a hard-core Bose–Einstein (BE) gas with those of liquid helium four below the lambda temperature. It is suggested that the use of the generalized condensation of Girardeau together with the inclusion of "three-body ladders" from the perturbation series may improve the agreement between the hard-core BE model system and the physical helium four system to such an extent that reasonable quantitative agreement may be attained.

The properties of a hard-sphere, Bose–Einstein gas are investigated numerically in the t-matrix, ladder approximation, using both the coordinate-space treatment of Brueckner and Sawada, as modified by Parry and ter Haar, and the pseudopotential method of Liu and Wong. For each treatment, the form of the excitation spectrum and the thermodynamic properties of the gas at low temperatures are compared with the corresponding properties of liquid helium. The pseudopotential method gives better agreement for a reasonable choice of the radius of the "hard-core" interaction. This result is not surprising since the actual potential corresponding to the pseudopotential of Liu and Wong is intermediate between the "soft-core" potential of Brueckner and Sawada and a true "hard-core" potential.
