Abstract: The properties of Rydberg series of autoionizing levels of He converging to the n = 2 level of He + are discussed on the basis of the assumption that the Schrödinger equation is approximately separable in the coordinates R = ( r 1 2 + r 2 2 ) 1/2 and α = tan -1 r 2 / r 1 . For each Rydberg series a `potential' in R is obtained, and the properties of the autoionizing states follow from the shape of the `potentials'. Energies of some of the states are calculated and compared with energies from experiment and more conventional calculations.
