A model is formulated which avoids the basis set superposition error (BSSE) problem at the correlation level. A projector is constructed which removes the BSSE when applied to a wavefunction. This projection can simply be included as an additional step in a usual configuration interaction method. Te

✦ Synopsis
A thorough investlgatlon ot the proper scheme to correct for basis set superpositlon errors is performed for the He dimer withm the CEPA(1) method. The BSSE proves. even for this small system, extremely difficult to avoid, and it is m no way negligible. Through comparison wth perturbation-theory estimates of the interaction energy, we conclude that the full counterpolse correctlon should be applied rather than a scheme omitting the occupied orbitals of the ghost.
