Abstract: The convergence patterns of the hyperspherical harmonic expansion for theexcited 3Sstates of the helium atom have been studied with the correlation function-hyperspherlcal harmonic-generalized Laguerre function method(CFHHGLF).The convergenteigenenergies at l=0, 1, 2 agree well with the s-limits, sp-limits and spd-limits of the configurationinteraction (CI) method.With only 44 hyperspherical harmonics, the eigenenergies of the 23S,33Sand 43Sstates are the same as those from the exact Hylleraas variational method.

Key words: Hyperspherical harmonic, Radial correlation, Angular correlation, 3S states of the helium atom
