✦ Synopsis

Novel atomic systems may be suitable for the construction of high-frequency tunable lasers. They involve highly excited bound states embedded in the electronic continuum of opposite parity and decaying into it via radrative autoioniaation (RA). For the newly established 2p 3 4So bound state of He-, the calculated induced RA cross section is large around h==323A.
