    AnnotationCharacteristics of the heavy rare gas dimers (Ar-2,Kr-2,Xe-2) have been studied by correlated ab initio calculations. All-electron CCSD(T) calculations were performed for Ar and Kr dimers, and calculations with relativistic effective core potentials were performed for Kr and Xe dimers. Extended basis sets (aug-cc-pVXZ, X=D, T, Q, 5, 6) were combined with bond functions (spd, spdfg). The use of bond functions significantly improves the basis set convergence. For the argon dimer, we have included also a CCSDT correction yielding a higher quality potential energy curve. This correction has been calculated using aug-cc-pVTZ+spd basis set. All possible sources of errors have been analyzed for the argon dimer [basis set saturation, correlation contributions going beyond CCSD(T) method, effect of core corrections and relativistic corrections]. In the case of the Ar dimer, the highest level of theory reproduces the semiempirical stabilization energy within 1.3 cm(-1).
