Abstract
A nonadiabatic variational procedure is used to diagonalize the Hamiltonian of the helium atom to obtain the Se3 states. A partial-wave analysis of the wave functions has been made. The one-body densities and the shape densities have been investigated. Detailed information on electron-electron correlation has been obtained. The K-classification scheme has been recovered. The strong radial-angular correlation regions together with the associated twin nodes have been discovered.
