A theoretical study of the radiative decay of low-lying doubly excited {sup 1}P{sup o} states of Helium in the energy region below the He{sup +}(N=2) threshold is presented. We calculated the oscillator strength from the ground state, the Auger and radiative decay rates, and the natural widths of these states. These rates are used to obtain the photon emission and metastable atom yield spectra to compare with experimental measurements, including those from Odling-Smee [Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2598 (2000)] and Rubensson [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 947 (1999)]. We showed that the lifetimes of the long-lived doubly excited states are determined by the radiative rates.
