摘要: Based on the weakest bound electron potential model theory, the Rydberg energy levels and quantum defects of the $np^{2}$P$^{\circ}_{1 / 2}$  ($n$ = 7--50) and $np^{2}$P$^{\circ}_{3 / 2}$  ($n$ =7--50) spectrum series for the francium atom are calculated. The calculated results are in excellent agreement with the 48 measured levels, and 40 energy levels for highly excited states are predicted.
