The Lamb Shift of Hydrogen and Low-energy Tests of Qed
نویسنده
چکیده
Leading logarithmic corrections to the difference of Lamb shifts of s-states EL(1s) − 8EL(2s) and to the life time of 2p1/2 state are considered. The result of Sokolov and Yakovlev for the Lamb splitting of 2s1/2 and 2p1/2 is reevaluated and our new value is 1057.8576(21) MHz. Using value of EL(1s)− 8EL(2s) = -187.237(8) MHz, obtained here, a new value of the Hydrogen and Deuterium ground states using all recent measurements connected with 1s or 2s Lamb shifts. The highest precision value for the Hydrogen ground state is obtained from corrected result of Sokolov and Yakovlev experiment as 8172.934(22) MHz. The Deuterium result is EL(1s) − 8EL(2s) = -187.229(8) MHz, using it we obtain from the Garching experiment 8183.905(224) MHz. Some related topics are also considered. Taking into account nearest future result the fine structure constant problem are reviewed. Special attention is payed to Muonium hyperfine splitting, which it is done simillar to Lamb shift calculatuion for and to the neutron de Broglie’s wave length measurements which also could lead to some connection between the Deuterium mass and the fine structure constant.

Hydrogen atom spectrum and the lamb shift in noncommutative QED.
We have calculated the energy levels of the hydrogen atom as well as the Lamb shift within the noncommutative quantum electrodynamics theory. The results show deviations from the usual QED both on the classical and the quantum levels. On both levels, the deviations depend on the parameter of space/space noncommutativity.

متن کاملRecent developments in X-ray tests of quantum electrodynamics1
Experimental tests of quantum electrodynamics (QED) have developed dramatically for simple systems of hydrogen and helium, but there has also been significant progress for medium-Z hydrogenic and helium-like atoms over the last few years. In this area, tests are often based on X-ray spectroscopic measurements, and here we review some key developments. Of particular interest is the status of few...
متن کاملProton structure effects in muonic hydrogen
The proton structure effects, including finite size, polarizability and self– energy is considered and their influence on energy levels of muonic hydrogen is recalculated. A new theoretical prediction for the Lamb shift is presented together with improved values of all known QED contributions.

متن کاملLamb 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...
