Abstract

We report about direct measurements of heat capacity of Majorana quasiparticles in superfluid 3He-B which appear near the surface of the experimental bolometer on the coherence length ξ. Two bolometers with different surface-to-volume ratios were used which allows us to have different calibrated contributions from Majorana quasiparticles to the 3He heat capacity. Estimations of possible impact of 3He layers adsorbed on the walls of the bolometer have been done.
