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 کاملProton structure effects in muonic hydrogen
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.

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 ...
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. ...
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...
