Proton polarizability contribution to hydrogen Lamb shift

Nuclear Theory 2008-02-03 v1 Atomic Physics

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 is 71±11±7 - 71 \pm 11 \pm 7 Hz.
