Sec. 2 presents the CSP method, while an improved approach built on it (CI-CSP) is described in Sec. 3. Sec. 4 gives some examples of applications of the CSP and CI-CSP methods to the photochemical ultrafast dynamics in clusters. Directions for future progress and improvements are discussed in Sec. 5. 

For /2(Ar)i7, an extensive CI-CSP simulation was carried out, and the results were compared with those of the simple CSP approximation. Both calculations are for the ultrafast dynamics following excitation of the I2 into the B state. We found that the CI-CSP calculation, including doubly excited configurations , is close to converged for times up to t 500 fs, when 1500 configurations are included. Fig. 2 shows co(t)p, the coefficient of the CSP term and the doubly excited terms in the full CI-CSP wavefunction,...
