Recoil corrections in the hydrogen isoelectronic sequence

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

A version of the Bethe-Salpeter equation appropriate for calculating recoil corrections in highly charged hydrogenlike ions is presented. The nucleus is treated as a scalar particle of charge Z, and the electron treated relativistically. The known recoil corrections of order m2/M(Zα)4m^2/M(Z\alpha)^4 are derived in both this formalism and in NRQED.
