Extract

There are two main anomalies in the spectrum of O++, for which so far no satisfactory explanation has been given: (1) the calculated values for the configuration (1s)2 (2s)2 (2p)2 of the ratio of the intermultiplet separations (1D−1S)/(3P−1D) is not in agreement with the observed value, (2) within the 3P term the ratio of the separations indicates a departure from Russell-Saunders coupling. We are here concerned with (1).
