Vacuum polarization in muonic and antiprotonic atoms : the fine structure at medium Z
Effects of vacuum polarization modify the energy levels in atoms with an orbiting particle heavier than an electron. The dominant effect is due to the Uehling potential. In this paper we consider the relativistic corrections to the energy levels caused by the Uehling potential and in particular the fine structure in muonic and antiprotonic atoms. We derive general expressions and consider in de...
متن کاملPrecision spectroscopy of antiprotonic atoms
Precision spectroscopy of antiprotonic atoms will be an important subject to be pursued at the new antiprotonic decelerator (AD) facility being completed at CERN. In particular, the study of antiprotonic helium atoms, peÿHe2 pHe, ®rst discovered at KEK and studied in detail at low-energy antiproton ring (LEAR), will continue to be one of the most important subjects at AD. Our recent high-reso...
متن کاملNear-infrared laser spectroscopy of antiprotonic helium atoms
The ASACUSA (Atomic Spectroscopy and Collisions Using Slow Antiprotons) collaboration is currently attempting to observe a laser-induced resonant transition of antiprotonic helium atoms at wavelength of 1154.9 nm. Motivations to observe this transition and a nanosecond near-infrared laser prepared for this work are presented.
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 ...
متن کاملGravitational vacuum polarization IV: Energy conditions in the Unruh vacuum
Building on a series of earlier papers [gr-qc/9604007,9604008,9604009], I investigate the various point-wise and averaged energy conditions in the Unruh vacuum. I consider the quantum stress-energy tensor corresponding to a conformally coupled massless scalar field, work in the test-field limit, restrict attention to the Schwarzschild geometry, and invoke a mixture of analytical and numerical t...
