Abstract
We have performed Path Integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) calculations to determine the effect of quenched disorder on the superfluid density of a dilute 3D hard sphere gas. The disorder was introduced by locating set of hard cylinders randomly inside the simulation cell. Our results indicate that the disorder leaves the superfluid critical temperature basically unchanged. Comparison to experiments of helium in Vycor is made.
