Abstract
The Schrodinger equation of a four-boson model system is solved via a varia tional procedure. The pairwise interaction contains a repulsive core and an attractive tail. The features of the low-lying states are extracted via an analysis of the wave functions. The decisive effect of symmetry is demonst rated. A classification of states based on the inherent nodal structures of the internal wave functions is proposed.
