AbstractHigh-lying doubly excited states of He and H− are studied and energies and intrinsic characteristics of their wave-functions are reported. Results for energies of 3Po and 1D doubly excited states associated with the hydrogenic thresholds up to N = 20 are presented and compared to available data from the literature. The classification of these doubly excited states by approximate quantum numbers is reexamined.

Energies and fine-structure corrections for the doubly excited 3Pe and 3De states of the helium atom are calculated using the Rayleigh–Ritz variational method and the saddle-point variational method with a multiconfiguration-interaction function. The relativistic and mass polarization corrections are included. The oscillator strengths, transition rates, and wavelengths are also calculated. The doubly excited states are grouped into Rydberg series labeled by the quantum numbers K, T, and A to display the systematic regularity along the series. The results are compared with the theoretical and experimental data in the literature. PACS Nos.: 31.15.Pf, 31.25.Jf, 32.70.Cs
