“…The and indices stand for all quantum numbers describing the B and the C states except v and v. Because the neighbouring states, considered in Eqs. [7] and [8], are quite remote from the energy levels of the B and C states taken into account in [6], the q (v 1 , v 2 ) and q (v 1 , v 2 ) coefficients are almost constant with only a very weak dependence on v and v. It is therefore possible to approximate them with a finite power series in v and v:…”
