Atomic Physics 2014-11-04 v1

Abstract

The Uehling correction to the energy levels is presented in terms of the hypergeometric functions 2F1. This presentation allows to derived various asymptotics and approximations. Further applications of this method to other atomic characteristics are also considered.
