A polarization propagator method based upon an approximate coupled cluster doubles ( ACCD ) wavefunction is presented and applied to CH + and Be in calculations of excitation energies and radiative lifetimes. It is found that in these cases the computational results are nearly identical to results obtained using a similar method based on the full coupled cluster doubles ( CCD ) reference state. Since ACCD is far less time‐consuming than CCD the approximate coupled cluster doubles polarization propagator approximatior ( ACCDPPA ) should be an effective method for large scale computations preserving the quantitative reliability of CCDPPA .
