Abstract
The physical processes of a superfluid helium-based particle detector are outlined. In particular, we discuss the fluorescent production of UV photons and the generation of an anisotropic roton flux by alpha pa rticles. These two observed phenomena have potential use in the develo pment of a full-scale helium particle detector.
