Abstract

The newly discovered excited states of Li- are examined from a many-body point of view. Our result for the So5 lifetime includes the contribution of radiative autoionization. This removes one-third of the previous discrepancy between theory (our value = 2.7 ns) and experiment (= 2.3 ns). The first predictions of the hyperfine structures (hfs) of the Li- So5 and P5 states are made, and the change in the hfs parameters as p electrons are removed is studied. © 1983 The American Physical Society.
