description

The London analytical interpolation equation between zero and packing densities for the ground-state energy of a many-boson hard-sphere system is corrected for the reduced mass of a pair of particles in a ``sphere-of-influence'' picture. It is thus brought into good agreement with computer simulations and with experimental results extrapolated out to close packing.
