The ground-state properties of bulk atomic hydrogen are calculated for the low-density gas, assuming that the atoms interact via the 3Σ u + pair potential. The Monte Carlo technique is applied to a system consisting of 32 hydrogen atoms in a box, with periodic boundary conditions. These results are compared with those derived from the hard-sphere Bose-Einstein gas model.
