Lamb Shift in Muonic Hydrogen
The Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen continues to be a subject of experimental and theoretical investigation. Here my older work on the subject is updated to provide a complementary calculation of the energies of the 2p-2s transitions in muonic hydrogen. Introduction The energy levels of muonic atoms are very sensitive to effects of quantum electrodynamics (QED), nuclear structure, and recoil, sin...
متن کاملThe Lamb Shift Experiment in Muonic Hydrogen
The subject of this thesis is the muonic hydrogen (μ−p) Lamb shift experiment being performed at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland. Its goal is to measure the 2S − 2P energy difference in μp atoms by laser spectroscopy and to deduce the proton root–mean– square (rms) charge radius rp with 10 −3 precision, an order of magnitude better than presently known. This would make it possible to t...
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...
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 کاملMaximal Acceleration Corrections to the Lamb Shift of Muonic Hydrogen
The maximal acceleration corrections to the Lamb shift of muonic hydrogen are calculated by using the relativistic Dirac wave functions. The correction for the 2S − 2P transition is ∼ 0.38 meV and is higher than the accuracy of present QED calculations and of the expected accuracy of experiments in preparation.
