Abstract
We present a complex-coordinate rotation calculation of the doubly excited high-angular-momentum resonance states of the positronium negative ion, associated with the , and thresholds of the Ps atom. Products of Slater-type orbitals are used to represent the two-electron wave functions. For the Ps threshold, states with angular momentum up to are calculated. Results for doubly excited intrashell states are used to construct the supermultiplet structures of the energy levels of revealing rotational and vibrational series similar to those for an XYX triatomic molecule.
