Proton structure effects in muonic hydrogen
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Theory 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. ...
متن کاملProton Zemach radius from measurements of the hyperfine splitting of hydrogen and muonic hydrogen
While measurements of the hyperfine structure of hydrogen-like atoms are traditionally regarded as test of bound-state QED, we assume that theoretical QED predictions are accurate and discuss the information about the electromagnetic structure of protons that could be extracted from the experimental values of the ground state hyperfine splitting in hydrogen and muonic hydrogen. Using recent the...
متن کاملLamb 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 کاملModel independent analysis of proton structure for hydrogenic bound states.
Proton structure effects in hydrogenic bound states are analyzed using nonrelativistic QED effective field theory. Implications for the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen are discussed. Model-dependent assumptions in previous analyses are isolated, and sensitivity to poorly constrained hadronic structure in the two-photon exchange contribution is identified.

The extremely precise extraction of the proton radius by Pohl et al. from the meaAnnu. Rev. Nucl. Part. Sci. 2013, Vol. 63. doi: 10.1146/annurev-nucl-102212-170627 sured energy difference between the 2P and 2S states of muonic hydrogen disagrees significantly with that extracted from electronic hydrogen or elastic electron-proton scattering. This is the proton radius puzzle. The origins of the ...
