The K have sharp peaks whenever the N cluster has a new excited state. Then both Ξ and K will increase.
But for the N+1 cluster both Ξ will be about the same and K will fall back.
To explain Magic numbers recall that clusters
are formed in early „hot“ stages of the expansion

- the time scale implies another parameter (v)
- the ratio of the oscillation amplitude to the constant

CONCLUSIONS
1. The geyser effect indicates (via Bernoulli’s law) an oscillation of the s/l (quasi-)equilibrium pressure at a given T: vacancy concentration appears to be the only system variable which can give such effect.
2. Below the ’ temperature flow anomalies are observed:
(a) The most dramatic one is the occurrence of a Bernoulli flow corresponding to pressures > Pm, at which 4He should be solid. (b) Below 1.58 K a sharp drop of the geyser period signals a dramatic change in the flow properties of solid 4He. These anomalies, suggesting superflow conditions, are attributed to injected excess vacancies, and agree with Galli and Reatto predictions for a vacancy-induced (Andreev-Lifshitz) supersolid phase.
3. A 3He concentration of 0.1% is shown to suppress the flow anomalies, suggesting a quantum nature of the superflow.
