关联B-样条基组在少电子原子QED计算中的应用

Precision calculations and measurements on the spectra of helium and lithium atoms have important scientific significance and applications in examining atomic structure theory, determining fundamental physical constants and exploring the properties of nuclei. The precise theoretical predictions on these spectra rely on the calculations of quantum electrodynamics (QED) corrections, in which the Bethe-logarithm is of serious concern because the numerical accuracy of it is difficult to improve. In this project, we will develop a new configuration interaction method using the correlated B-spline basis set to take full account of the electron correlations, by combining the advantages of the Hylleraas and B-spline basis sets. This method will not only accelerate the convergence on the size of the basis set, but also eliminate the dilemma of the linear dependence in the Hyleraas and explicitly correlated gaussians methods. Using this newly-developed method, we will present the high precision results on the Bethe-logarihtm of the highly excited states in the two-electron atoms and ions, perform the massively parallel computations on the energy spectra and properties and improve the numerical accuracy of the Bethe-logarihtms of the three-electron atomic systems, solve the problem of the low accuracy of the Bethe-logarithm calculation in the inner shell of the helium negative ion, and finally improve the accuracy of the prediction on QED corrections. This project is of importance on exploring the new method in the field of precision spectra theory and the new applications of the B-spline basis.
