Lamb Shift in Muonic Helium Ion
نویسنده
چکیده
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 experimental data.

Lamb 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 کاملTheory of Muonic Hydrogen - Muonic Deuterium Isotope Shift
We calculate the corrections of orders α3, α4 and α5 to the Lamb shift of the 1S and 2S energy levels of muonic hydrogen (μp) and muonic deuterium (μd). The nuclear structure effects are taken into account in terms of the proton rp and deuteron rd charge radii for the one-photon interaction and by means of the proton and deuteron electromagnetic form factors in the case of one-loop amplitudes. ...

The largest contributions to the n = 2 Lamb-shift, fine structure interval and 2s hyperfine structure of muonic hydrogen are calculated by exact numerical evaluations of the Dirac equation, rather than by a perturbation expansion in powers of 1/c, in the framework of non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics. Previous calculations and the validity of the perturbation expansion for light elements...
متن کاملSixth-Order Vacuum-Polarization Contribution to the Lamb Shift of the Muonic Hydrogen
The sixth-order electron-loop vacuum-polarization contribution to the 2P1/2 − 2S1/2 Lamb shift of the muonic hydrogen (μ−p+ bound state) has been evaluated numerically. Our result is 0.005295 (1) meV. This eliminates the largest uncertainty in the theoretical calculation. Combined with the proposed precision measurement of the Lamb shift it will lead to a very precise determination of the proto...
