Abstract
This work is an ab initio study of the , and states of and , , and states of neutral carbon. We use the multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock approach, focusing on the accuracy of the wave function itself. We obtain all detachment thresholds, including correlation effects to about . Isotope shifts and hyperfine structures are calculated. The achieved accuracy of the latter is of the order of 0.1 MHz. Intraconfiguration transition probabilities are also estimated.
