WANNIER BELOW-THRESHOLD L=1 OR 2 DOUBLY-EXCITED HE- STATES

The analytic continuation of Crother's uniform semiclassical wavefunct ion to below threshold has been extended to include resonant states fo r L = 1 and L = 2, where L is the total angular momentum azimuthal qua ntum number of the two excited electrons. Using the Bohr-Sommerfeld co mplex quantization rule with two complex transition points the complex eigenvalues for doubly excited states of He- are calculated. The reso nance energy positions, which are parametrized in terms of an irration al azimuthal quantum number L for L = 1 (L = (root 17 - 1)/2) and an i nteger L for L = 2 (L = 3), are in good agreement with the experimenta l results of Buckman et al.
