Abstract
We present numerical values for the self-energy shifts predicted by QED (Quantum Electrodynamics) for hydrogenlike ions (nuclear charge ) with an electron in an , 4 or 5 level with high angular momentum (). Applications include predictions of precision transition energies and studies of the outer-shell structure of atoms and ions.
