The Normal State of Helium
Abstract
An approximate wave function for normal helium is calculated, by using theoretically determined functions for the limiting cases of large and small $r'\mathrm{s}$ and interpolating between them. The charge density computed from this wave function is in good agreement with that found independently by Hartree. The diamagnetism of normal helium is calculated, and agrees with observation within the experimental error. The repulsive forces between two helium atoms are calculated by the method of Heitler and London, and the attractive Van der Waals forces are roughly estimated from Wang's results with hydrogen. The potential curve so found gives a "molecular diameter" in agreement with experiment, and the minimum of the curve leads to approximately correct density and boiling point for the liquid.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
