Abstract
The energies of systems comprised of N = 2–8 bosons interacting with various potentials are calculated using the Stochastic Variational Method with an Explicitly Correlated Gaussian basis. Besides the energies, particle–particle distances and correlation functions are also calculated and structural properties are discussed.
