\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 functional correction for basis set incompleteness [\href{https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5052714}{Giner et al., \textit{J.~Chem.~Phys.}~\textbf{149}, 194301 (2018)}], we show that one can obtain vertical and adiabatic excitation energies with chemical accuracy with, typically, augmented double-$\zeta$ basis sets.
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 et al., \textit{J.~Chem.~Phys.}~\textbf{149}, 194301 (2018)}], we show that one can obtain vertical and adiabatic excitation energies with chemical accuracy 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 dimer and ethylene).
The present study clearly evidences 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.

incompleteness correction. \cite{GinPraFerAssSavTou-JCP-18}
This density-based correction relies on short-range correlation density functionals (with multideterminant reference) from range-separated density-functional theory \cite{TouColSav-PRA-04, AngGerSavTou-PRA-05, GolWerSto-PCCP-05, TouGerJanSavAng-PRL-09,JanHenScu-JCP-09, TouZhuSavJanAng-JCP-11, MusReiAngTou-JCP-15, LeiStoWerSav-CPL-97, FroTouJen-JCP-07, FroCimJen-PRA-10, HedKneKieJenRei-JCP-15, HedTouJen-JCP-18, FerGinTou-JCP-18} (RS-DFT) to estimate the basis set incompleteness error.
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{TouColSav-PRA-04, AngGerSavTou-PRA-05, GolWerSto-PCCP-05, TouGerJanSavAng-PRL-09,JanHenScu-JCP-09, TouZhuSavJanAng-JCP-11, MusReiAngTou-JCP-15, LeiStoWerSav-CPL-97, FroTouJen-JCP-07, FroCimJen-PRA-10, HedKneKieJenRei-JCP-15, HedTouJen-JCP-18, FerGinTou-JCP-18} (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.
Consequently, the energy convergence with respect to the size of the basis set is significantly improved, \cite{FraMusLupTou-JCP-15} and chemical accuracy can be obtained even with small basis sets.
For example, in Ref.~\onlinecite{LooPraSceTouGin-JPCL-19}, we have shown that one can recover quintuple-$\zeta$ quality atomization and correlation energies with triple-$\zeta$ basis sets for a much lower computational cost than F12 methods.
The present basis set correction relies on the RS-DFT formalism to capture the missing part of the short-range correlation effects, a consequence of the incompleteness of the one-electron basis set.
The present methodology is identical to the one described in Ref.~\onlinecite{LooPraSceTouGin-JPCL-19} where the main working equation are reported and discussed.
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 electronically-excited systems which is a much tougher test for the reasons mentioned above.
This work is organized as follows.
In Sec.~\ref{sec:theory}, the main working equations of the density-based correction are reported and discussed.
Computational details are reported in Sec.~\ref{sec:compdetails}.
In Sec.~\ref{sec:res}, we discuss our results for each system and draw our conclusions in Sec.~\ref{sec:ccl}.
