Abstract

Relativistic and QED corrections to the recently discovered first vibrational 2pσu state are presented. This state has an extremely small nonrelativistic binding energy EB=1.085045252(1)×10-9 a.u. Its wave functions has a maximum at R≈100 a.u. and extends up to several hundreds. It is shown that this state does not disappear if higher order relativistic and QED corrections, including the Casimir--Polder effect, are taken into account.
