The D-wave phase shifts for α−α scattering at low energies are obtained from (i) new analyses of the differential cross sections and (ii) the effects of vacuum polarization. The results are −0.4° (−0.4°), −0.2° (−0.4°), +0.2° (−0.4°), −0.2° (−0.2°), and 0.3° (0.2°) for the center-of-mass energies 0.3, 0.425, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 MeV, respectively. It is felt that these results are significant.
