${\alpha }^4$ Ry corrections to singlet states of helium

Abstract

Corrections of order ${\alpha }^4$Ry are calculated for the singlet states $1^1{S}_0$ and $2^1{S}_0$ of the helium atom. The result for $1^1{S}_0$ state is in slight disagreement with that of Korobov and Yelkhovsky in [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 193003 (2001)]. The results obtained lead to a significant improvement of transition frequencies between low lying levels of the helium atom. In particular theoretical predictions for the $2^1{S}_0-1^1{S}_0$ transition are found to be in disagreement with experimental values.
