Abstract
The elementary excitation levels and chemical potentials of small 4He clusters with less than N = 50 atoms have been calculated by the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The deviations of the excitation energy levels from predictions based on a simple liquid drop model are explained by the width of the density fall-off at the cluster surface and the size dependence of the surface tension.
