Abstract

Electrons trapped at the liquid-vapour (essentially vacuum) interface of helium at low temperatures make an ideally simple system of particles in interaction: two-dimensional motion with very small non-uniformity and exactly known monotonic power law interaction. From the experimental standpoint, the charge permits a strong, direct interaction with an electromagnetic probe field, while the low mass and scattering rate make possible quite direct experiments on the phonons despite the seemingly impossibly small number of particles (108–109).
