Lattice QCD calculations of the hadronic vacuum polarization (HVP) have reached a precision where the electromagnetic (e.m.) correction can no longer be neglected. This correction is both computationally challenging and hard to validate, as…
Radiative-recoil corrections to hyperfine splitting in muonium of orders $\alpha(Z\alpha)(m/M)^2E_F$ and $(Z^2\alpha)(Z\alpha)(m/M)^2E_F$ are calculated. These corrections are of the second order in the small electron-muon mass ratio. An…
