Abstract The escape rate of surface state electrons on liquid helium was measured in the temperature interval 0.56〈T〈1.0 K for electron areal density below 5×107 cm−2, where the rate is independent of density. It is found that the escape rate is dominated by the scattering from the helium gas atoms in the vapor phase above 0.8 K, while it is dominated by that from ripplons (surface wave quanta) below 0.8 K. Quantitative agreement is obtained between our experiment and the theoretical calculation by Nagano et al.
