Hyperfine Structure of S-states in Muonic Helium Ion
نویسنده
چکیده
Corrections of orders α5 and α6 are calculated in the hyperfine splittings of 1S and 2S energy levels in the ion of muonic helium. The electron vacuum polarization effects, the nuclear structure corrections and recoil corrections are taken into account. The obtained numerical values of the hyperfine splittings -1334.56 meV (1S state), -166.62 meV (2S state) can be considered as a reliable estimate for the comparison with the future experimental data. The hyperfine splitting interval ∆12 = (8∆E hfs(2S)−∆Ehfs(1S)) = 1.64 meV can be used for the check of quantum electrodynamics.

Ground State Hyperfine Structure of Muonic Helium Atom
The muonic helium atom (μe2He) represents the simple three-body atomic system. The interaction between magnetic moments of the muon and electron leads to the hyperfine structure (HFS) of the energy levels. The investigation of the energy spectrum of this atom is important for the check of quantum electrodynamics for three-particle bound state. The ground state hyperfine splitting was measured m...

The Lamb shift (2P1/2 − 2S1/2) in the muonic helium ion (μ 2He) is calculated with the account of contributions of orders α3, α4, α5 and α6. Special attention is given to corrections of the electron vacuum polarization, the nuclear structure and recoil effects. The obtained numerical value of the Lamb shift 1381.716 meV can be considered as a reliable estimate for the comparison with experiment...
متن کاملVariational calculation of some S-states of Coulomb three-body systems
A generalized Hylleraas-type basis set with three nonlinear parameters is proposed to study three-body systems interacting via coulomb forces within the framework of non-relativistic quantum mechanics. This basis set improves the rate of convergence with respect to previous ones, specially for nonsymmetric systems and excited states of two electron atoms. Accurate binding energies and other pro...
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 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...
