    J.H. Kim and G.S. Ezra, Proc. Trieste Workshop Quantum Chaos, pp 436-448, Ed. H. Caldiera, M. Gutzwiller and R. Ramaswamy (World Scientific, 1991).

    This short paper, rejected by Physical Review Letters in 1990, presented the first results on application of Gutzwiller periodic orbit theory to the analysis of computed doubly-excited states of 2-electron systems. The semiclassical periodic orbit analysis of the quantum mechanical density of states for the collinear Helium model treated in the paper provided a clear refutation of the then-prevailing dogma associating intrashell doubly-excited states with excitation of the symmetric stretch (r1 = r2) Wannier ridge mode. Further details of both the classical mechanical study of the 3-body problem and the quantum calculations mentioned in the paper are given in the unpublished Cornell Ph.D. thesis of J-H. Kim (1993).
