S-wave triplet doubly-excited states 3Se of Li+ below the N=2 excitation threshold of Li2+

The Harris-Nesbet variational method was considered for the determination of the series a and b of S-wave triplet doubly-excited-state resonances 3Se of Li+ below the N=2 excitation threshold of Li2+. Because of the high accuracy of our numerical method, we succeeded in determining a greatest number of these doubly-excited states below this threshold, including those lying very close to the threshold. Five of these high-lying doubly excited states were determined by us for the first time.
