We present neutron scattering measurements of the phonon-roton (P-R) mode of superfluid 4 He confined in 47 Å MCM-41 at T = 0.5 K at wave vectors, Q, beyond the roton wave vector (QR = 1.92 Å−1 ). Measurements beyond the roton require access to high wave vectors (up to Q = 4 Å−1 ) with excellent energy resolution and high statistical precision. The present results show for the first time that at T = 0.5 K the P-R mode in MCM-41 extends out to wave-vector Q ≃ 3.6 Å−1 with the same energy and zero width (within precision) as observed in bulk superfluid 4 He. Layer modes in the roton region are also observed. Specifically, the P-R mode energy, ωQ, increases with Q for Q > QR and reaches a plateau at a maximum energy ωQ = 2∆ where ∆ is the roton energy, ∆ = 0.74 ± 0.01 meV in MCM-41. This upper limit means the P-R mode decays to two rotons when its energy exceeds 2∆. It also means that the P-R mode does not decay to two layers modes. If the P-R could decay to two layer modes, ωQ would plateau at a lower energy, ωQ = 2∆L where ∆L = 0.60 meV is the energy of the roton like minimum of the layer mode. The observation of the P-R mode with energy up to 2∆ shows that the P-R mode and the layer modes are independent modes with apparently little interaction between them.
