Abstract

In this work we report very accurate calculations of the ten lowest 1 P (L = 1) bound states of the beryllium atom performed with the finite-nuclear-mass (FNM) approach and with all-electron explicitly correlated Gaussian functions. The FNM non-relativistic variational energies of the states are augmented with the leading relativistic and quantum-electrodynamics (QED) corrections. The latter include the Araki-Sucher QED correction whose implementation for the L = 1 states is featured in this work. The calculated energies for interstate transition energies are compared with the experimental results.
