We present theoretical photoionization cross sections from the 1sns 1,
3S(e) bound excited states of the helium atom based on a configuration
-interaction procedure for the continuum, using a finite L2-basis set
constructed from a nearly complete set of B-spline-based one-particle
hydrogenic orbitals. In addition to the nonresonant spectra near the f
irst ionization threshold, resonant structures associated with selecte
d sp,2n+/- and 2pnd 1,3P(o) autoionization series below the He+ N = 2
threshold are examined in detail. The widths and resonance energies of
all 1,3P autoionization series are also reported and compared with ot
her available theoretical and experimental results.
