The classical integral cross sections of large superfluid 4He_N droplets and
the number of atoms in the droplets (N=10^3-10^4) have been measured in
molecular beam scattering experiments. These measurements are found to be in
good agreement with the cross sections predicted from density functional
calculations of the radial density distributions with a 10-90 % surface
thickness of 5.7\AA. By using a simple model for the density profile of the
droplets a thickness of about 6-8\AA is extracted directly from the data.Comment: 27 pages, REVTeX, 5 postscript figure
