Eigenchannel quantum-defect theory of open-shell atoms. II. Calculation of 3p/sup 4/( /sup 3/P)ns Rydberg spectra of the chlorine atom

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
Rydberg spectra of the chlorine atom 3s/sup 2/3p/sup 4/( /sup 3/P)ns, J = (1/2), (3/2), and (5/2), are calculated by use of an eigenchannel quantum-defect method. The results indicate that the channel interactions due to electrostatic and spin-orbit potentials are weak. The effect due to channel interaction of the 3s3p/sup 6/ configuration is completely negligible. Agreement with emission data is excellent (< or approx. =0.2% accuracy except for the lowest n = 4 levels). Autoionization resonances are predicted.
