The Configuration Interaction (CI) method is applied to the calculation of
the structures of a number of positron binding systems, including e+Be, e+Mg,
e+Ca and e+Sr. These calculations were carried out in orbital spaces containing
about 200 electron and 200 positron orbitals up to l = 12. Despite the very
large dimensions, the binding energy and annihilation rate converge slowly with
l, and the final values do contain an appreciable correction obtained by
extrapolating the calculation to the l to infinity limit. The binding energies
were 0.00317 hartree for e+Be, 0.0170 hartree for e+Mg, 0.0189 hartree for
e+Ca, and 0.0131 hartree for e+Sr.Comment: 13 pages, no figs, revtex format, Submitted to PhysRev
