At about 100 K at 0.1 cm3 remains only 10 keV from the level of absolute zero of temperature. At about 100 K at 0.1 cm3 remains only 10 keV from the level of absolute zero of temperature. Temperature is the density of quasiparticles, that measured directly by damping of vibrating wire. The deposited energy is intimately associated with the 3He nuclear. There is no isolated nuclear thermal bath, separated from electronic and phononic subsystems! 3He as a dark matter detector First suggestions G.R.Pickett in Proc. «Second european worshop on neutrinos and dark matters detectors», ed by L.Gonzales-Mestres and D.Perret-Gallix, Frontiers, 1988, p. 377.

4. He is the only substance, which remains liquid at Ultra Low Temperatures. The external particles are collide with only single nuclear. There is not effect of "solid body" collision. 5 The nuclear momentum of 3 He makes the non-symmetric channel of interaction visible for dark matter. There is one non paired neutron for 3 nuclons! 6. The neutron capture reaction shows the clear signature of neutrons! 7 The absence of free electrons makes 3 He relatively insensitive to electromagnetic and gamma radiation background. 8. A the lowest temperatures superfluid 3 He is absolutely quantum pure matter. 9. Since the 3 He pairs have a nuclear magnetic momentum but no electric charge, the superfluid 3 He is transparent to electromagnetic radiation, allowing to employ a very informative NMR methods. NMR can establish magnetically excited quantum state. The latter can be considered rather as metastable state, where instability can be triggered by a small deposit of energy. This variant of particle detector can be tested in future. The small heat capacity, the absolute purity, the liquid state and the relative transparency to gamma radiation background make superfluid 3 He a very sensitive nuclear collision detector.
