Lamb Shift in Muonic Hydrogen
The Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen continues to be a subject of experimental and theoretical investigation. Here my older work on the subject is updated to provide a complementary calculation of the energies of the 2p-2s transitions in muonic hydrogen. Introduction The energy levels of muonic atoms are very sensitive to effects of quantum electrodynamics (QED), nuclear structure, and recoil, sin...
متن کاملThe Lamb Shift Experiment in Muonic Hydrogen
The subject of this thesis is the muonic hydrogen (μ−p) Lamb shift experiment being performed at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland. Its goal is to measure the 2S − 2P energy difference in μp atoms by laser spectroscopy and to deduce the proton root–mean– square (rms) charge radius rp with 10 −3 precision, an order of magnitude better than presently known. This would make it possible to t...
متن کاملLamb Shift in Muonic Helium Ion
The Lamb shift (2P1/2 − 2S1/2) in the muonic helium ion (μ 2He) is calculated with the account of contributions of orders α3, α4, α5 and α6. Special attention is given to corrections of the electron vacuum polarization, the nuclear structure and recoil effects. The obtained numerical value of the Lamb shift 1381.716 meV can be considered as a reliable estimate for the comparison with experiment...
متن کاملLamb Shift of Muonic Deuterium and Hydrogen
My previous calculations of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen are reviewed and compared with other work. In addition, numerical results for muonic deuterium are presented. Introduction The energy levels of muonic atoms are very sensitive to effects of quantum electrodynamics (QED), nuclear structure, and recoil, since the muon is about 206 times heavier than the electron [1]. A number of theore...
متن کاملVacuum polarization in muonic atoms: the Lamb shift at low and medium Z
In muonic atoms the Uehling potential (an effect of a free electronic vacuum polarization loop) is responsible for the leading contribution to the Lamb shift causing the splitting of states with ∆n = 0 and ∆l 6= 0. Here we consider the Lamb shift in the leading nonrelativistic approximation, i.e., within an approach based on a certain Schrödinger equation. That is valid for low and medium Z as ...
