Logarithmic two-loop corrections to the Lamb shift in hydrogen

Atomic Physics 2009-11-06 v2

Abstract

Higher order (α/π)2(Zα)6(\alpha/\pi)^2 (Z \alpha)^6 logarithmic corrections to the hydrogen Lamb shift are calculated. The results obtained show the two-loop contribution has a very peculiar behavior, and significantly alter the theoretical predictions for low lying S-states.
