Abstract
The kinetic energy of solid neon is calculated by a path-integral Mont e Carlo approach with a refined Trotter and finite-size extrapolation. These accurate data present significant quantum effects up to tempera ture T=20 K. They confirm previous simulations and are consistent with recent experiments.
