Notes:
Momentum expectation values (pk), values of the momentum density P(p) at selected points, and coefficients in the MacLaurin and asymptotic expansions of P(p) are used to test the quality of various orbital basis sets previously used for the atomic helium Hartree-Fock problem. The wellknown position-space defects of Gaussian-type orbital expansions are shown to have their momentum-space counterparts. Expansions of even-tempered Slater-type orbitals are found to be rather accurate. The exponentially damped rational function is found to be the outstanding two-parameter unconventional orbital.
