Abstract
The contributions from the three spin-dependent Breit operators in second-order perturbation theory are calculated when the symmetries of the intermediate states are odd or . Standard Hylleraas expansions with up to 165 terms are used for the perturbations of the wave functions. The large interval of the fine structure of the level in helium is increased by 2.17(2)× by , and by 0.0089(6)× by . Two methods for handling angular integration over tensors are described.
