Radiative-Recoil Corrections of Order α(Zα)(m/M)m to Lamb Shift Revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
The results and main steps of an analytic calculation of radiative-recoil corrections of order α(Zα)5(m/M)m to the Lamb shift in hydrogen are presented. The calculations are performed in the infrared safe Yennie gauge. The discrepancy between two previous numerical calculations of these corrections existing in the literature is resolved. Our new result eliminates the largest source of the theoretical uncertainty in the magnitude of the deuterium-hydrogen isotope shift.

Three-Loop Reducible Radiative Photon Contributions to Lamb Shift and Hyperfine Splitting
Corrections of order α(Zα)m to the Lamb shift and corrections of order α3(Zα)EF to hyperfine splitting generated by the insertions of the three-loop one-particle reducible diagrams with radiative photons in the electron line are calculated. The calculations are performed in the Yennie gauge.
متن کاملSecond Order in Mass Ratio Radiative-recoil Corrections to Hyperfine Splitting in Muonium
Radiative-recoil corrections to hyperfine splitting in muonium of orders α(Zα)(m/M)EF and (Z α)(Zα)(m/M)EF are calculated. These corrections are of the second order in the small electron-muon mass ratio. An analytic expression [(−6 ln 2− 34)α(Zα)− 17 12 (Z2α)(Zα)]( M )EF is obtained. Numerically the correction is equal to −0.0351 kHz and is of the same order of magnitude as the expected accurac...
متن کاملNew Corrections of Order Α to S-levels of Two-body Systems
New corrections to the energy of S-levels of positronium of order mα which are as large as several hundred kilohertz are obtained. A new recoil correction of order α(Zα)(m/M)m to the Lamb shift in hydrogen is calculated. This correction turns out to be too small from the phenomenological point of view. 1. Recent progress in the spectroscopy of positronium [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] triggered theoretical w...
متن کاملThree-Loop Radiative-Recoil Corrections to Hyperfine Splitting Generated by One-Loop Fermion Factors
We consider three-loop radiative-recoil corrections to hyperfine splitting in muonium generated by diagrams with one-loop radiative photon insertions both in the electron and muon lines. An analytic result for these nonlogarithmic corrections of order α(Zα)(Zα)(m/M)ẼF is obtained. This result constitutes a next step in the implementation of the program of reduction of the theoretical uncertaint...
متن کاملCorrections of Order Α(zα) to Hyperfine Splitting and Lamb Shift
Corrections to hyperfine splitting and Lamb shift of order α(Zα) induced by the diagrams with radiative photon insertions in the electron line are calculated in the Fried-Yennie gauge. These contributions are as large as −7.725(3)α(Zα)/(πn)(mr/m) m and −0.6711(7)α(Zα)/(πn)EF for the Lamb shift and hyperfine splitting, respectively. Phenomenological implications of these results are discussed wi...
