Ion "geysers" on the surface of superfluid helium
A mechanism for disturbing the surface stability of superfluid helium charged by positive helium ions localized in the fluid near the surface is studied kinematographically and electrically. It is shown that the charge leaves the helium surface along with jets of liquid helium ejected by "geysers" arising on the crests of capillary waves.
