Abstract
Path-integral Monte Carlo calculations of the superfluid density throughout [Formula presented] droplets doped with linear impurities are presented. After deriving a local estimator for the superfluid density distribution, we find a decreased superfluid response in the cylindrically symmetric region of the first solvation layer. The helium in this region has a superfluid transition temperature similar to that of a two-dimensional helium system and may be responsible for previously unexplained experimental [Formula presented]-branch measurements.
