281- orbits) and with spin $s=1/2$ and spin projections $m_s=-1/2$ and
282- $m_s=1/2$. The two single-particle states are given by the tensor
283- products of their spatial $1s$ single-particle states
284- $\vert\phi_{1s}\rangle$ and and their spin up or spin down spinors
285- $\vert\xi_{sm_s}\rangle$. The ansatz for the ground state is given by a Slater
