On the Choice of the Wavefunction of the Ground State of He for Precision Calculations of Autoionization State Parameters above the Excited Ion Formation Threshold

详细

The necessity of choosing multiparametric wavefunctions for describing the ground state of an atom in the problems of ionization of atoms by photons and electrons has been substantiated for the He atom as an example. Comparative analysis of application of different ground-state wavefunctions for this atom has been performed. The energies, widths, and partial widths of the lower autoionization state ¹P of the He atom above the excited ion formation threshold has been performed. It is shown that in contrast to total widths of quasi-stationary states, which differ insignificantly for different wavefunctions of the ground state, the partial widths are substantially different.
