Abstract

Bound states of the He2 molecule are determined from an electron-He+2 collision calculation using the R-matrix method. The calculations are performed at a moderately dense grid of 35 internuclear separations are used to characterise He2 Rydberg states with n≤7 . Potential energy curves for singlet 1Σ+g , 1Σ+u , 1Πg , 1Πu and 1Δu and triplet 3Σ+g , 3Σ+u , 3Πg , 3Πu and 3Δu Rydberg states of He2 as well as effective quantum numbers as a function of internuclear separation are calculated. Based on the potential energy curves of A1Σ+g , B 1Πg , C 1Σ+u , F 1Πu and a 3Σ+u , b 3Πg , c 3Σ+g , f 3Πu , spectroscopic parameters (Te , De,Re,ωe,ωexe,αe and Be) of these states have been determined and compared with theoretical and experimental data available.
