\begin{abstract}
By combining extrapolated selected configuration interaction (sCI) energies obtained with the CIPSI (Configuration Interaction using a Perturbative Selection made Iteratively) algorithm with the recently proposed short-range density-functional correction for basis-set incompleteness [\href{https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5052714}{Giner \textit{et al.}, \textit{J.~Chem.~Phys.}~\textbf{149}, 194301 (2018)}], we show that one can get chemically accurate vertical and adiabatic excitation energies with, typically, augmented double-$\zeta$ basis sets.
We illustrate the present approach on various types of excited states (valence, Rydberg, and double excitations) in several small organic molecules (methylene, water, ammonia, carbon monoxide, carbon dimer and ethylene).
The present study clearly evidences that special care has to be taken with very diffuse excited states where the present correction might not be enough to catch the radial incompleteness of the one-electron basis set.

Although for ground-state properties angular incompleteness is by far the main source of error, it is definitely not unusual to have a significant radial incompleteness in the case of excited states (especially for Rydberg states), which can be alleviated by using additional sets of diffuse basis functions (i.e.~augmented basis sets). \jt{JTcomment: shouldn't we cite references for this first paragraph?}
Explicitly-correlated F12 methods \cite{Kut-TCA-85, Kut-TCA-85, KutKlo-JCP-91, NogKut-JCP-94} have been specifically designed to efficiently catch angular incompleteness. \cite{Ten-TCA-12, TenNog-WIREs-12, HatKloKohTew-CR-12, KonBisVal-CR-12, GruHirOhnTen-JCP-17, MaWer-WIREs-18}

incompleteness correction. \cite{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18}
Contrary to our recent study on atomization and correlation energies, \cite{LooPraSceTouGin-JPCL-19} the present contribution focuses on vertical and adiabatic excitation energies in molecular systems which is a much tougher test for the reasons mentioned above.
This density-based correction relies on short-range correlation density functionals (with multideterminant reference) from range-separated density-functional theory \cite{Sav-INC-96, LeiStoWerSav-CPL-97, TouColSav-PRA-04, TouSavFla-IJQC-04, AngGerSavTou-PRA-05, GolWerSto-PCCP-05, PazMorGorBac-PRB-06, FroTouJen-JCP-07, TouGerJanSavAng-PRL-09, JanHenScu-JCP-09, FroCimJen-PRA-10, TouZhuSavJanAng-JCP-11, MusReiAngTou-JCP-15, HedKneKieJenRei-JCP-15, HedTouJen-JCP-18, FerGinTou-JCP-19} (RS-DFT) to capture the missing part of the short-range correlation effects, a consequence of the incompleteness of the one-electron basis set.
Because RS-DFT combines rigorously density-functional theory (DFT) \cite{ParYan-BOOK-89} and wave function theory (WFT) \cite{SzaOst-BOOK-96} via a decomposition of the electron-electron interaction into a non-divergent long-range part and a (complementary) short-range part (treated with WFT and DFT, respectively), the WFT method is relieved from describing the short-range part of the correlation hole around the electron-electron coalescence points (cusp).

Using near-FCI excitation energies (within a given basis set) has the indisputable advantage to remove the error inherent to the WFT method.
Indeed, in the present case, the only source of error on the excitation energies is due to basis-set incompleteness.

As a first test of the present density-based basis-set correction, we consider the four lowest-lying states of methylene ($1\,^{3}B_1$, $1\,^{1}A_1$, $1\,^{1}B_1$ and $2\,^{1}A_1$) at their respective equilibrium geometry and compute the corresponding adiabatic transition energies for basis sets ranging from AVDZ to AVQZ.
We have also computed total energies at the exFCI/AV5Z level and used these alongside the quadruple-$\zeta$ ones to extrapolate the total energies to the CBS limit with the usual extrapolation formula \cite{HelJorOls-BOOK-02}

One would have noticed that the basis-set effects are particularly strong for the third singlet excited state of water \jt{JTcomment: In fact, it seems that the third singlet excited state of water has a weaker basis set effects than the other states when going from AVDZ to AVTZ! I guess that the point was that there is subtantial error remaining for AVQZ. If so, we should be more explicit in the text. Are we sure that this comes from the fact that this state is particularly diffuse? In principle, it could also come from error in the TBE.} and the third and fourth singlet excited states of ammonia where this effect is even magnified.
In these cases, one really needs doubly augmented basis sets to reach radial completeness.
The first observation worth reporting is that all three RS-DFT correlation functionals have very similar behaviors and they significantly reduce the error on the excitation energies for most of the states.
However, these results also clearly evidence that special care has to be taken for very diffuse excited states where the present correction might not be enough to catch the radial incompleteness of the one-electron basis set, a feature which is far from being a cusp-related effect.
