Radiative corrections to bound-state properties in QED
نویسنده
چکیده
This talk summarizes some results on bound-state properties obtained since the previous (1998) RADCOR meeting. Recent results on radiative corrections to positronium decay width and the g-factor of a bound electron are described. A new approach to evaluating recoil corrections in systems consisting of particles with different masses is discussed.

Nrqed Approach to the Hyperfine Structure of the Muonium Ground State
The method of NRQED is an adaptation of QED to bound systems. While it is fully equivalent to QED, it enables us to explore the QED bound states systematically as an expansion in the fine structure constant α and velocity (∼ Zα) of the bound electron. I describe how to construct the NRQED Hamiltonian choosing recent works on the α(Zα), α (Zα), α(Zα), α(Zα), and α(Zα) radiative corrections to th...
متن کاملQED Radiative Corrections to Z Boson Production and the Forward Backward Asymmetry at Hadron Colliders
The O(α) radiative corrections to the process p p (−) → γ∗, Z → `+`− (` = e, μ) are calculated. Factorizing the collinear singularity associated with initial state photon bremsstrahlung into the parton distribution functions, we find that initial state corrections have a much smaller effect than final state radiative corrections. Due to mass singular logarithmic terms associated with photons em...
متن کاملQED second order corrections on the speed of light at low temperature
We want to study thermal corrections on the speed of light at low temperature considering temperature dependence of photon vacuum polarization tensor at two-loop level in the standard QED. It is found that the heat bath behaves as a dispersive medium for the propagation of light and reduces its speed proportional to the second order of temperature. Similarities and differences, in light ...
متن کاملRadiative Corrections to the Azimuthal Asymmetry in Transversely Polarized Møller Scattering∗
Experiment E158 at SLAC can measure an azimuthal asymmetry in single-spin, transversely polarized Møller scattering, e−↑e− → e−e−, which arises from a QED rescattering phase. We recompute the leading-order (one-loop) asymmetry, confirming previous results, and calculate the leading logarithmic QED corrections due to initial-state radiation from the beam and target electrons, and due to final-st...
متن کامل0 Nonperturbative Techniques for QED Bound States ∗
Advantages of using a low-energy effective theory to study bound state properties are briefly discussed, and a nonperturbative implementation of such an effective theory is described within the context of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. The hydrogen atom, in the approximation of a structureless, infinite-mass nucleus, but with the leading relativistic and radiative corrections included, is u...
