Abstract

Employing analytic Hartree-Fock wave functions, model calculations have been performed on the structure and lifetimes of the slowly auto-ionizing states arising from

(1 s, 2 s, 2 p) {}^{4}P

{He}^{-}

and Li. The effect of mixing with the associated

{}^{2}P' s

is considered and the phenomenon of differential metastability discussed. A framework is provided to interpret experimental observations.
