17. Nonautoionizing doubly excited states are, for example, those with dominant configurations (2pnp(Formula presented)(Formula presented)(Formula presented)(Formula presented) and (2pnd)(Formula presented)(Formula presented)(Formula presented)(Formula presented). Concerning the spectroscopy of these states, see H. G. Berry, J. Desesquelles and M. Dufay, Phys. Rev. A 6, 600 (1972), and references therein. They lie high up in energy with respect to the one-electron excitations and the one-electron continuum threshold (Formula presented)(n=1). Thus, the lowest one (2p(Formula presented)(Formula presented)(Formula presented) lies 59.671 eV above the ground state.
