These results are illustrated in Fig.~\ref{fig:CH2} and reported in Table \ref{tab:CH2} alongside reference values from the literature obtained with various approaches. \cite{ChiHolAdaOttUmrShaZim-JPCA-18, SheLeiVanSch-JCP-98, JenBun-JCP-88, SheLeiVanSch-JCP-98, ZimTouZhaMusUmr-JCP-09}
Figure \ref{fig:CH2} clearly shows that, for the double-$\zeta$ basis, the exFCI adiabatic energies are far from being chemically accurate with errors as high as 0.015 eV.
From triplet-$\zeta$ onward, the exFCI excitation energies are chemically-accurate though.
From triplet-$\zeta$ onward, the exFCI excitation energies are chemically-accurate though, and drop steadily to the CBS limit when one increases the size of the basis set.
Concerning the basis set correction, already at the double-$\zeta$ level, the PBEot correction returns chemically accurate excitation energy.
The performance of the PBE and LDA functionals (which does not use the on-top density) are less impressive, yet they still yeild a significant reduction of the error on the adiabatic energies.
Note that the results for the PBE functional are not represented in Fig.~\ref{fig:CH2} as they are very similar to the LDA ones.
it is also quite evident that the basis set correction has the tendency of over-correcting the excitation energies by over-stabilizing the excited states compared to the ground state.
