Radiative Corrections to the 2E1 Decay Rate of the 2s-State in Hydrogen-Like Atoms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Radiative corrections to the 2E1 decay width of the 2s1/2-state in the low-Z hydrogen-like system are examined within logarithmic approximation. The correction is found to be 2.025(1)α(Zα)/π log(Zα) in units of the non-relativistic rate.

Self–Energy Correction to the Two–Photon Decay Width in Hydrogenlike Atoms
We investigate the gauge invariance of the leading logarithmic radiative correction to the two-photon decay width in hydrogenlike atoms. It is shown that an effective treatment of the correction using a Lamb-shift “potential” leads to equivalent results in both the length as well as the velocity gauges provided all relevant correction terms are taken into account. Specifically, the relevant rad...
متن کاملHigher-Order Nuclear-Size Corrections in Atomic Hydrogen
Nuclear-size corrections of order (Zα)5 and (Zα)6 to the S-state levels of hydrogenic atoms are considered. These nuclear-elastic contributions are somewhat smaller than the polarizability (nuclear-inelastic) corrections for deuterium, but are of comparable or larger size for the hydrogen case. For deuterium the (attractive) nonrelativistic (Zα)5 correction to the 2S-1S transition is −0.49 kHz,...
متن کاملHyperfine Structure of the Ground and First Excited States in Light Hydrogen-Like Atoms and High-Precision Tests of QED
We consider hyperfine splitting of 1s and, in part, of 2s levels in light hydrogen-like atoms: hydrogen, deuterium, tritium, helium-3 ion, muonium and positronium. We discuss present status of precision theory and experiment for the hfs intervals. We pay a special attention to a specific difference, D21 = 8Ehfs(2s) − Ehfs(1s), which is known experimentally for hydrogen, deuterium and He ion. Th...
متن کاملImproved theoretical prediction for the 2s hyperfine interval in helium ion
We consider the uncertainty of theoretical calculations for a specific difference of the hyperfine intervals in the 1s and 2s states in a light hydrogen-like atom. For a number of crucial radiative corrections the result for hydrogen atom and helium ion appears as an extrapolation of the numerical data from medium to low Z. An approach to a plausible estimation of the uncertainty is suggested u...
متن کاملHYDROGEN ADSORPTION ON SILVER CATHODES IN PERCHLORIC ACID SOLUTIONS
In this paper studies of overvoltage and capacitance measurements at silver cathodes in aqueous perchloric acid at room temperature are described. Capacitances were deduced from open-circuit potential decay measurements. The increase of overvoltage and the growth of the measured capacitances in the course of electrolysis are attributed to a growing pseudocapacitance component. This is anal...
