Bound and Continuum Properties of High Z Atoms and Anions

它计划研究轻电离中到高Z原子和离子的束缚和连续性质。必须同时考虑相对论和电子-电子相互作用(相关性)。负离子的情况尤其具有挑战性，因为大多数这样的系统在没有关联的情况下是不受约束的。其目的是将目前的束缚态方法扩展到包括连续介质的情况，例如允许讨论光致电离。目前的束缚态方法也将被扩展，以允许处理行中间过渡金属。

It is planned to study both bound and continuum properties of lightly ionized medium- to high-Z atoms and ions. Both relativity and electron-electron interactions (correlations) must be considered. The case of negative ions is particularly challenging, as most such systems are unbound in the absence of correlations. It is intended to extend present bound state methods to include the continuum case, permitting for example a discussion of photoionization. The present bound state methodolgy will also be extended to permit a treatment of middle of the row transition metals.
