36. In Figs., the sudden slope doubling of the ω 3 and ω 4 curves around the mixed-valence points of coordinates (- 4, 8) and (4, 8), respectively, result from two avoiding crossings between the curves of one-particle-one-hole and two-particle-two-hole excitations. In either case, only one mate of the two states involved in the avoided crossing is shown. The other mate (many orders of magnitude less intense), can be reconstructed by following the thin lines of Fig..
