Description

Using a Born--Oppenheimer-type expansion for the two-electron wave functions in hyperspherical coordinates, three potential curves are obtained for H-1P states converging to the n=2 state of the hydrogen atom. It is shown that the Feshbach resonances are associated with one curve and the shape resonance with another. The connections with the ''+'' and ''-'' classification of helium doubly excited states and with the asymptotic dipole-field representation of H- are discussed
