Abstract
The pair distribution for normal He atoms in the vicinity of a metastable He atom is calculated in the zero-temperature limit, from first principles, using a variational Jastrow wave function and the Percus-Yevick integral equations for fluid mixtures. From this pair function, the "bubble radius," coordination number, and energy per metastable atom are calculated.
