The contribution of positronium to the electron $g$-2 ($a_e$) has been computed in Ref. [1] and found to be of the same order of $\alpha$ as that of five-loop perturbative QED. We confirm this result and correct a few errors in its first…

Recently, the contribution of positronium bound states to the electron anomalous magnetic moment was computed in Refs.[1,2]. It was argued there that this O(alpha^5) contribution is missed if electron g-2 is calculated within conventional…

We evaluate a non-perturbative QED contribution to the electron g-2 which comes from virtual positronium. We find it to be 9.0*10^{-14}. This value is comparable to the five-loop contribution of usual perturbative calculation, and several…

Recently, it was shown that insertions of hadronic vacuum polarization at O(alpha^4) generate non-negligible effects in the calculation of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. This result raises the question if other hadronic diagrams…

Nucleon resonance contributions to the polarized proton $g_1$ and $g_2$ structure functions are computed from resonance electroexcitation amplitudes extracted from CLAS exclusive meson electroproduction data. Including resonances in the…

Corrections $\sim \alpha^2 $ to the positronium decay rate, induced by one--loop vacuum polarization diagram, are calculated. Their relative values are $0.4468(3)(\alpha/\pi)^2$ for para- and $0.960(3)(\alpha/\pi)^2$ for orthopositronium.

We calculate the leading $1/N_f$ perturbative contributions to the polarized nonsinglet structure functions $g_3$ and $g_5$ to all orders in $\alpha_s$. The contributions from the first renormalon pole are determined. It is a measure for…

Positronium annihilation amplitudes that are computed by assuming a factorization approximation with on-shell intermediate leptons do not exhibit good analytical behaviour. Using dispersion techniques, we find new contributions that…

The contributions to the (g-2) of the electron from the corner-ladder graphs in sixth-order (three-loop) QED perturbation theory are evaluated in closed analytical form. The results obtained are in excellent agreement with the most precise…

Relative order \alpha(Z\alpha)^3 shift of the energy levels induced by the vacuum polarization is reexamined for a bound system of two particles with masses m and M. Recent results for hydrogen and for positronium are shown to contain an…

The first CLAS12 experiments will provide high-precision data on inclusive electron scattering observables at a photon virtuality $Q^2$ ranging from 0.05 GeV$^2$ to 12 GeV$^2$ and center-of-mass energies $W$ up to 4 GeV. In view of this…

We use recently evaluated radiative and nonperturbative corrections to production of heavy quarks by a vector current to give very precise theoretical calculations of the high energy ($t^{1/2}\geq \sqrt{2}$ GeV) imaginary part of the photon…

I present a new data driven update of the hadronic vacuum polarization effects for the muon and the electron $g-2$. For the leading order contributions I find $a_\mu^{\mathrm{had}(1)}=(686.99\pm 4.21)[687.19\pm 3.48]\times 10^{-10}$ based…

We present a calculation of the O(m alpha^7 ln(alpha)^2) corrections to positronium energy levels. The result is used to estimate the current uncertainty in theoretical predictions of the positronium spectrum.

The energy levels of the $n=1$ and $n=2$ bound states of the $\mu^+\mu^-$ atom (true muonium) are calculated starting from a previously derived potential that correctly describes positronium to order $\alpha^5$ supplemented by the known…

The order - \alpha radiative corrections to the differential decay rate of polarized orthopositronium are obtained. Their influences on the three photons coincidence rate as a function of positronium polarization is considered.

We have calculated all contributions to the energy levels of parapositronium at order $m \alpha^7$ coming from vacuum polarization corrections to processes involving virtual annihilation to two photons. This work is motivated by ongoing…

We determine the gyromagnetic factor of the positronium ion, a three-body system consisting of two electrons and a positron, including first relativistic corrections. We find that the g-factor is modified by a term -0.51(1)alpha^2,…

I consider the problem of the evaluation of the orthopositronium decay rate, including second order radiative corrections. I present a brief theoretical discussion of this problem and a review of the results available in literature, and,…

We review and compare recent calculations of hadronic vacuum polarization effects. In particular, we consider the anomalous magnetic moments g-2 of the leptons and alpha(M_Z), the effective fine structure constant at the Z--resonance.
