Nucleon Polarizability Contribution to the Hydrogen Lamb Shift and Hydrogen -- Deuterium Isotope Shift

Atomic Physics 2009-10-31 v2 Nuclear Theory

Abstract

The correction to the hydrogen Lamb shift due to the proton electric and magnetic polarizabilities is expressed analytically through their static values, which are known from experiment. The numerical value of the correction to the hydrogen 1S state is 71±11±7 - 71 \pm 11 \pm 7 Hz. Correction to the H-D 1S-2S -- isotope shift due to the proton and neutron polarizabilities is estimated as 53±9±11 53 \pm 9 \pm 11 Hz.
