Abstract
The complete second-order hyperfine-interaction correction is calculated for centroid energy levels of H, D, and He atoms. For He, the corrections of ~kHz and ~kHz beyond the leading hyperfine-mixing contribution are obtained for the and states, respectively. These results shift the nuclear charge radii difference derived from the He -He isotope shift and largely resolve the previously reported disagreement between the muonic and electronic helium determinations [van der Werf et al., arXiv:2306.02333 (2023); Schuhmann et al., arXiv:2305.11679 (2023)].
