The wave function psi(r, Omega) is expanded into generalized Laguerre polynomials and hyperspherical harmonics. An analytical expression of two-electron systems is given for matrix elements and accurate energy eigenvalues of the excited state of S-1,S-3 helium are calculated by using the hyperspherical harmonics method. The present results are compared with previous theoretical calculations and it is concluded that the convergence of energy eigenvalues is faster.
