In this paper a theoretical study of a possible phase transition in dilute ^3He-He(II) mixtures is presented using the Galitskii-Migdal-Feynman formalism. The effective scattering length is calculated from the Galitskii-Migdal-Feynman T-matrix, which is essentially the effective scattering amplitude dependent on the medium. It is found that at very low ^3He concentrations the s-wave effective scattering length for ^3He-He(II) varies discontinuously from positive to negative values at some critical concentration. This indicates a crossover from a regime with dimers to another with the Cooper pairs. The binding energy of the weakly-bound dimers ^3He_2 is computed. The effective p-wave scattering lengths are calculated and compared to the effective s-wave scattering lengths at low and high concentrations. It is found that p-scattering has an important effect on the instability of these mixtures at concentrations x > 1%. Finally, the transport coefficients are computed and compared to the theoretical predictions of Fu and Pethick and the experimental results of König and Pobell.
