A wave function consistent with the binding energy of He/sup 4/ and giving the maximum ( gamma ,p) cross section at the threshold energy was obtained by adopting the interaction given by meson theory and assuming the outgoing particle to be subject to the square well potential. This potential was adjusted to produce the p-wave resonance of this particle at the maximum cross section. The wave function is of the Gaussian type both for H/sup 3/ and He/sup 4/, and the parameters are V/sub 0/ = 50 Mev, R = 2.0 x 10/sup -13/ cm, mu =0.15 x 10/ sup 26/ cm /sup and alpha = 0.14 x 10/sup 26/ cm/sup -2/. The alpha particle is concluded to have an excited state (/sup 1/P/sub 1/-state) at about 26 Mev above the ground state. (D.L.C.)
