Abstract
A simple variational-type model for the ground state of two-electron a toms is here proposed. It is based on a single-particle wavefunction w ith two free parameters generalizing the screened hydrogenic one, and which holds the Kato cusp condition exactly. The results for the expec tation values of different properties including the energy are close t o different Hartree-Fock ones reported in the literature.
