dc.descriptionWe analyze the microstructure of He-II in the framework of the method of collective variables (CV), which was proposed by Bogolyubov and Zubarev and was developed later by Yukhnovskii and Vakarchuk. The logarithm of the ground-state wave function of He-II, ln(Psi_0), is calculated in the approximation of "two sums", i.e., as a Jastrow function and first (three-particle) correction. In the CV method equations for Psi_0 are deduced from the N-particle Schro'dinger equation. We also take into account the connection between the structure factor and Psi_0, which allows one to obtain Psi_0 from the structure factor of He-II, not from a model potential of interaction between He-II atoms. It should be emphasized that the model does not have any free parameters or functions. The amount of one-particle (N_1) and two-particle (N_2) condensates is calculated for the ground state of He-II: we find N_1=0.27N and N_2=0.53N in the Jastrow approximation for Psi_0, and, taking into account the three-particle correction to ln(Psi_0), we obtain N_1=0.06N (which agrees with the experiment) and $N_2=0.16N. In the approximation of "two sums", we also find that the higher s-particle condensates (s>2) are absent in He-II at T=0.
