Bound and Continuum Properties of High Z Atoms and Anions

计划研究轻电离的中、高z原子和离子的束缚和连续性质。相对论和电子-电子相互作用（相关）都必须考虑。负离子的情况尤其具有挑战性，因为大多数这样的系统在缺乏相关性的情况下是不受束缚的。它的目的是扩展目前的束缚态方法，以包括连续体的情况，例如允许讨论光电离。目前的束缚态方法也将得到扩展，以允许对行中间过渡金属进行处理。

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.
