The hydrogen atom as relativistic bound-state system of a proton and an electron in the complex-mass scheme is investigated. Interaction of a proton and an electron in the atom is described by the Lorentz-scalar Coulomb potential; the…
The magnetic field generated by a bound muon in heavy muonic atoms results in an induced nuclear magnetic dipole moment even for otherwise spinless nuclei. This dipole moment interacts with the muon, altering the binding energy of the…

We study the effects of finite proton mass on the energy levels of hydrogen atoms moving transverse to a superstrong magnetic field $B$ with generalized pseudomomentum $K_\perp$. Field strengths of order $B\sim 10^{12}$ Gauss are typically…
We make a comparison between the energy levels of the hydrogen atom, calculated by using standard methods, and that by using a modified Coulomb potential due to the interaction between the magnetic moments of the proton and electron. In…
We obtain a model independent expression for the muonic hydrogen Lamb shift. This expression includes the leading logarithmic ${\cal O}(m_{\mu}\alpha^6)$ terms, as well as the leading ${\cal O}(m_{\mu}\alpha^5 \frac{m_{\mu}^2}{m_{\rho}^2})$…
The proton polarizability effect in the muonic-hydrogen Lamb shift comes out as a prediction of baryon chiral perturbation theory at leading order and our calculation yields for it: $\Delta E^{(\mathrm{pol})} (2P-2S) = 8^{+3}_{-1}\, \mu$eV.…
We study the effect of magnetic field on particle yields and charge fluctuations in hadron resonance gas. We argue that the big changes in the proton yield and baryon number susceptibility are due to ill-defined description of higher-spin…
Using the gauge/gravity duality, we calculate the electromagnetic contributions to hadron masses, where mass generates dynamically by strong QCD interactions. Based on the Sakai-Sugimoto model of holographic QCD we find that the…

The relationship between the electric form factors for the proton in the rest frame and in the Breit momentum frame is used to provide a value for the difference in the mean squared charge radius of the proton evaluated in the two frames.…
Pohl et al. measured the energy difference between the 2P and 2S states of muonic hydrogen and used it to determine a precise value of the proton radius. The result disagreed significantly from values extracted from electronic hydrogen and…
It is suggested that proton elastic scattering on atomic electrons allows a precise measurement of the proton charge radius. Very small values of transferred momenta (up to four order of magnitude smaller than the ones presently available)…
