Abstract
High precision Hylleraas-Configuration Interaction (Hy-CI) method variational calculations are reported for the 2 doublet S ground state of neutral lithium. The nonrelativistic energy is calculated to be -7.4780 6032 3451 9 hartree, demonstrating that the Hy-CI technique is capable of sub-nanohartree accuracy for three electron systems. A Hylleraas (Hy) expansion without linked products of odd powers of $r_{ij}$ gives -7.4780 6032 3452 hartree, showing the relative unimportance of such terms for lithium at the nanohartree level of accuracy. Hy-CI calculations are also reported for the 3 doublet S, 4 doublet S, 5 doublet , 6 doublet and 7 doublet S lithium excited states.
