The scattering of alpha particles from helium was experimentally studied in the energy range 5 to 9 Mev by the measurement of three excitation functions at the center-ofmass angles 30 ction prod- 33', 54 ction prod- 44', and70 ction prod- 7'. A phase-shift analysis was performed which indicates that only the S- and D-wave phase shifts are necessary to fit the data in this energy region. Only the well-known D state at approximately 2.9 Mev in Be/sup 8/ was observed. The D state was compared to the single-level dispersion theory and level parameters were extracted which are compatible with the alpha-particle model of Be/sup 8/. (auth)
