Distorted axi-planar superfluid phase of He-3 in the nematically ordered aerogel

Stimulated by the results of NMR experiments with superfluid He-3 in nematically ordered aerogel [R. Sh. Askhadullin, V. V. Dmitriev, D. A. Krasnikhin, et al., JETP Lett. 95, 326 (2012)] we report on the results of phenomenological analysis of stability of different phases of superfluid He-3 subjected to a strong homogeneous uniaxial anisotropy. On a basis of this analysis we suggest a form of the order parameter for the new ESP2 phase observed in the quoted experiments. In the weak coupling limit the suggested order parameter approaches that of the axi-planar phase. We discuss a possible experimental check of the proposed identification of the new phase.
