title: Multipolar polarizabilities of the sodium atom by a variationally stable procedure.
abstract: We present a formalism that combines a semiempirical model potential with a second-order energy correction variationally stable method to evaluate the multipolar dynamic polarizabilities of the sodium atom. In this framework, the alpha(L)(omega) up to L=4 were calculated achieving good precision including the resonance domains of omega.
