Dyson orbitals with MOLPRO

Dear Users,


I would like to know if it is possible to calculate "Dyson" Orbitals 
using MOLPRO ?

A Dyson orbital is defined as the overlap between the Ground State 
wave function of a N-electrons system and the wavefunction of an 
ionic state (N-1 electrons state). This overlap between wave 
functions differing by one electron (N and N-1 respectively) thus 
give a one electron function, which is a so-called Dyson orbital.
To be as exact as possible, such calculation requires large CI 
wavefunctions for neutral and ions.

If it is not possible to calculate those functions directely with 
MOLPRO (which I suspect : I haven't found any entry about Dyson 
Orbitals in the manual),  I can imagine that it is possible to 
calculate Dyson orbitals throught a small routine that uses programs 
of MOLPRO package, but this require knowing exactly how CI 
wavefunction are stored during calculations.

Could somebody help me on that point ?


Best regards,

Benoit.
