Abstract

We present calculations of the one-loop vacuum polarization contribution (Uehling potential) for the two-center problem in the NRQED formalism. The cases of hydrogen molecular ions (Z1=Z2=1Z_1=Z_2=1) as well as antiprotonic helium (Z1=2Z_1=2, Z2=1Z_2=-1) are considered. Numerical results of the vacuum polarization contribution at mα7m\alpha^7 order for the fundamental transitions (v=0,L=0)(v=1,L=0)(v=0,L=0)\to(v'=1,L'=0) in H2+_2^+ and HD+^+ are presented.
