Borysowicz, J; Zielinska, M

The upper bound for the binding energy of the alpha particle is calculated by the vaniation method. The velocity dependent potentials given by Green are used. The trial wave function used is in the form of a superposition of the S and D states. The calculated binding energies do not exceed 82% of the experimental value. The calculated radii exceed the experimental radius by at least 20%. The results indicate the importance of the two-nucleon correlations, not contained in the trial function considered. Also, the results are sensitive to the relative strength of the tensor and the central forces. (auth)
