Abstract
A simple variational-type model for the ground state of two-electron atoms is here proposed. It is based on a single-particle wavefunction with two free parameters generalizing the screened hydrogenic one, and which holds the Kato cusp condition exactly. The results for the expectation values of different properties including the energy are close to different Hartree-Fock ones reported in the literature.
