= Addition energy
{title2=$E_{\rm add}$}

The difference between successive electron-addition chemical potentials. In a <constant interaction model> it is $E_{\rm add}=e^2/C_\Sigma+\epsilon_{N+1}-\epsilon_N$, separating electrostatic charging from orbital level spacing. Spin, exchange and correlation can change the orbital contribution.
