Abstract

Vertical excitation energies of the Rydberg radical H(3)O are inferred from ab initio electron propagator calculations on the electron affinities of H(3)O(+). The adiabatic ionization energy of H(3)O is evaluated with coupled-cluster calculations. These predictions provide optimal parameters for the molecular-adapted quantum defect orbital method, which is used to determine oscillator strengths. Given that the experimental spectrum of H(3)O does not seem to be available, comparisons with previous calculations are discussed. A simple model Hamiltonian, suitable for the study of bound states with arbitrarily high energies is generated by these means.
