Polarizabilities and hyperfine structure constants of the low-lying levels of barium

The results of ab initio calculation of energies, hyperfine structure constants and static polarizabilities for several low-lying levels of barium are reported. The effective Hamiltonian for the valence electrons has been constructed in the frame of CI+MBPT method and solutions of many electron equation were found. Using the wave functions obtained the hyperfine structure constants and static polarizabilities were calculated. Received: 22 June 1998 / Revised: 2 September 1998 / Accepted: 15 September 1998
