Abstract
Solutions of the Hartree-Fock equations for the $^{3}P$ and $^{1}P$ terms of neon ($2{p}^{5}3s$) have been obtained. Wave functions are tabulated and results of computations of excitation energies and oscillator strengths are presented. The former fall within 10% of experimental values. It is found that enlarging the size of the "invariant core" used to compute the excited state wave functions has only a small effect on the predicted energies. The predicted oscillator strength of the 736 A transition is 0.11, which is in reasonable agreement with available experimental data considering the large uncertainties in the measurements. The computed diamagnetic susceptibility of the ground state is -7.4\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}${10}^{\ensuremath{-}6}$ ${\mathrm{cm}}^{\ensuremath{-}3}$ mole, in good agreement with experiment.
