Theory of Muonic Hydrogen - Muonic Deuterium Isotope Shift
نویسنده
چکیده
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 obtained numerical value of the isotope shift (μd) (μp) for the splitting (1S ÷ 2S) 101003.3495 meV can be considered as a reliable estimation for corresponding experiment with the accuracy 10−6. The fine structure interval E(1S)− 8E(2S) in muonic hydrogen and muonic deuterium are calculated.

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 کاملNuclear structure corrections in muonic deuterium.
The muonic hydrogen experiment measuring the 2P-2S transition energy [R. Pohl et al., Nature (London) 466, 213 (2010)] is significantly discrepant with theoretical predictions based on quantum electrodynamics. A possible approach to resolve this conundrum is to compare experimental values with theoretical predictions in another system, muonic deuterium μD. The only correction which might be que...

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 کاملNon-perturbative evaluation of some QED contributions to the muonic hydrogen n = 2 Lamb shift and hyperfine structure
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 کاملProton Polarization Shifts in Electronic and Muonic Hydrogen
The contribution of virtual excitations to the energy levels of electronic and muonic hydrogen is investigated combining a model-independent approach for the main part with quark model predictions for the remaining corrections. Precise values for the polarization shifts are obtained in the long-wavelength dipole approximation by numerically integrating over measured total photoabsorption cross ...
