Resonance Quasi-Projection Operators: Calculation of theS2Autoionization State ofHe

Abstract: A method is presented to remedy the defects of the projection-operator technique for calculating electron resonances in scattering from many-electron targets. Specifically it is shown that if the projection operator (i. e. , idempotent) Q is replaced by a quasi-projection operator Q such that limQ+ =0 as any r~-~, then the spectrum of QHQ is discrete, and can be made to be in essentially a unique correspondence with resonance energies. Belaxation of the idempotency requirement allows us to define two forms of … Show more

“…In order to test our procedures, we have investigated the (1s2s 2 ) 2 S resonances of Li and He Ϫ , two three-electron atomic systems that closely resemble the collisional complex under consideration here: the He Ϫ resonance involves the same open shell 1s He orbital, and Li represents the united atom limit of He*(2s 3 S) ϩ H. Both cases have been treated previously by various theoretical methods [39][40][41][42][43][44][45] and comparison can be made with precise measurements of the resonance energies [46][47][48][49][50][51][52] and, in the case of He Ϫ , also with experimental data for the width. [46][47][48][49] As pointed out by Davis and Chung, 45 the proper account of electron correlation is essential for accurate results for the widths of these 2 S atomic resonances.…”

“…Although in principle Ere, could, and maybe should, be stabilized with respect to each nonlinear parameter in the wavefunction, we restricted the optimization to the parameters associated with the unbound particle in \kp. This is because the nonlinear parameters in \ k~ had been optimized previously in the quasiprojection calculation [9], while those in the target function had been obtained from a variational calculation on the ground state of helium. Since the first five orbitals in Table I were primarily associated with \ k~, they were also not varied.…”

“…The actual wave functions employed in the calculations are given in detail elsewhere [4]. The "Q-space" part of the wave function consists basically of the 28 configuration wave function used in a previous quasi-Feshbach calculation [6] of this resonance with r replaced by p exp (ia) in the Slater orbital basis. Four configurations of the form 1s ns ns were added to this wave function.…”
