Abstract
Rydberg-valence interaction matrix elements in O2 are derived using a single-configuration formulation. Coupled channel Schrodinger equations (CSE) method is used to analyze these elements. Two types of Rydberg-valence mixing are described in terms of the single-configuration approximation: the configuration of the Rydberg and valence states differ by two orbitals; and the configurations of the Rydberg and valence states differ by only one orbital. In the second case, if the orbitals are solutions of the self-consistent Hamiltonian, the interaction between the states is exactly zero.
