We present a phenomenological analysis of an experiment to observe the
condensate fraction of helium-4 by firing low-energy pulses of helium
atoms at suspended droplets of the superfluid and observing the resul
ting emission of helium atoms from the fluid. Emission occurs through
a conventional process in which rotons are produced and propagate to t
he other side of the droplet, and through a second process depending o
n the existence of the condensate: If A is, the area of the incoming b
eam, the cross section scales with A2 (first process) and A4 (second p
rocess), respectively, for small A. Aspects of a full many body calcul
ation and the performance of such an experiment are briefly discussed.
