Abstract
Using the ideas of shadow wavefunctions, we propose a new form for the ground state of droplets of He-4. The shadow-shadow interaction is mo dified to reflect the variation of local density in an inhomogeneous s ystem. We can thereby get a bound state without one-body form factors. When the cluster is large, the bulk wavefunction is restored. The bin ding energy of the system is in satisfactory agreement with previous c omputations.
