Coordinate-space approach to vacuum polarization
The vacuum-polarization correction for bound electrons or muons is examined. The objective is to formulate a framework for calculating the correction from bound-state quantum electrodynamics entirely in coordinate space, including the Uehling potential, which is usually isolated and treated separately. Pauli-Villars regularization is applied to the coordinate-space calculation and the most sing...
متن کاملCoordinate-space approach to the bound-electron self-energy.
The self-energy screening correction is evaluated in a model in which the effect of the screening electron is represented as a first-order perturbation of the self energy by an effective potential. The effective potential is the Coulomb potential of the spherically averaged charge density of the screening electron. We evaluate the energy shift due to a 1s1/2, 2s1/2, 2p1/2, or 2p3/2 electron scr...
متن کاملQCD Corrections to QED Vacuum Polarization
We compute QCD corrections to QED calculations for vacuum polarization in background magnetic fields. Formally, the diagram for virtual eē loops is identical to the one for virtual qq̄ loops. However due to confinement, or to the growth of αs as p 2 decreases, a direct calculation of the diagram is not allowed. At large p we consider the virtual qq̄ diagram, in the intermediate region we discuss ...
متن کاملVacuum-polarization corrections to solar-fusion rates.
The vacuum-polarization corrections to rates for nuclear-fusion reactions in the pp chain and in the CNO cycle are calculated. For the reactions of particular importance to the solar-neutrino problem, the 3He(3He, 2p)4He, 3He(α, γ)7Be, 7Be(p, γ)8B, and 14N(p, γ)15O reactions, we find the magnitude of the effect to be less than 2%. The effect of VP on all the other reaction rates is expected to ...
متن کاملVacuum soft lithography to direct neuronal polarization†
The ability to coat surfaces with pre-determined patterns of biomolecules by soft lithography has found use in areas ranging from fundamental biology to translational medicine, such as tissue engineering and diagnostics. However, existing surface patterning techniques (e.g., microcontact printing and traditional lithography) are unable to pattern several biomolecules in a single step. Here we i...
