Abstract

On the basis of quasipotential approach to the bound state problem in QED we calculate the vacuum polarization, relativistic, recoil, structure corrections of orders α5\alpha^5 and α6\alpha^6 to the fine structure interval ΔEfs=E(2P3/2)E(2P1/2)\Delta E^{fs}=E(2P_{3/2})-E(2P_{1/2}) and to the hyperfine structure of the energy levels 2P1/22P_{1/2} and 2P3/22P_{3/2} in muonic 23He^3_2He ion. The resulting values ΔEfs=144803.15μeV\Delta E^{fs}= 144803.15 \mu eV, ΔE~hfs(2P1/2)=58712.90μeV\Delta \tilde E^{hfs}(2P_{1/2})=-58712.90 \mu eV, ΔE~hfs(2P3/2)=24290.69μeV\Delta \tilde E^{hfs}(2P_{3/2})=-24290.69 \mu eV provide reliable guidelines in performing a comparison with the relevant experimental data.
