Nagai<br/>We measured the transverse acoustic impedance of superfluid ^{3} He-B with a wall coated by several layers of ^{4} He. The coating is known to enhance the specularity in quasiparticle scattering by the wall. We found a new anomaly, a bump and a peak, in the temperature dependence of the transverse a...<br/>[Phys.
