We find that the four-nucleon force is attractive for the wave functions with a totally symmetric momentum part. The additional binding energy provided by the long-ranged part of the four-nucleon force is of the order of a few hundred keV.13 pages, 4 eps figures, 3 tablesNuclear TheoryA first estimation of chiral four-nucleon force effects in 4Hetext
