We report high-precision calculations of the nuclear recoil effect to the Lamb shift of hydrogen-like atoms to the first order in the electron-nucleus mass ratio and to all orders in the nuclear binding strength parameter $Z\alpha$. The…
We address the issue of light-light scattering in the presence of a background field at low energies using effective lagrangians. We derive the Euler-Heisenberg lagrangian at one loop and modify it to incorporate the case of the interaction…
We point out a few remarkable properties of the $\gamma\gamma\to\gamma\gamma$ process at high energy. They should allow to search for effects of new particles and interactions. We give illustrations with threshold effects due to pairs of…
The proton polarizability correction to the Lamb shift of electronic and muonic hydrogen is calculated on the basis of isobar model and experimental data on the structure functions of deep inelastic lepton-nucleon scattering. The…
We consider the scattering of high energy leptons off bound atomic electrons focusing primarily on final state interactions i.e., the exchange of virtual photons between the outgoing energetic electron, and the heavy residual charged…
Recently the nucleon-nucleon interaction derived using time-ordered perturbation theory in manifestly Lorentz-invariant chiral effective field theory was shown to yield promising results for peripheral neutron-proton scattering. In this…
We discuss effects of reflective scattering for hadron and heavy nuclei collisions at the LHC and asymptotical energies. It is shown that the reflective scattering might lead to decreasing matter density with energy beyond the LHC energies.…
The hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to muon $g-2$ is examined using low energy effective theories of QCD, the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model and hidden local chiral symmetry, as guides. Our result is $- 36 \times 10^{-11}$ with an…
We present a theoretical method to calculate Delbr\"uck scattering amplitudes for photon energies above the electron-positron pair production threshold. The method is based on the application of the relativistic Dirac-Coulomb Green function…
We determine the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon using the framework of Dyson-Schwinger and Bethe-Salpeter equations of QCD. Our result for the pseudoscalar ($\pi^0, \eta, \eta'$)…
By engineering the electromagnetic vacuum field, the induced Casimir-Polder shift (also known as Lamb shift) and spontaneous emission rates of individual atomic levels can be controlled. When the strength of these effects becomes comparable…
We analyze pure Coulomb high-energy elastic scattering of charged particles (hadrons or nuclei), discarding their strong interactions. We distinguish three scattering modes, determined by the magnitude of the momentum transfer, in which…
A relativistic analysis of the polarization properties of light elastically scattered by atomic hydrogen is performed, based on the Dirac equation and second order perturbation theory. The relativistic atomic states used for the…
We present our recent semi-analytical evaluation of the pion-pole contribution to hadronic light-by-light scattering, using a description of the pion-photon-photon form factor based on large-N_C and short-distance properties of QCD.…
The need for a cutoff in the Lamb shift calculation suggests that high-energy virtual photons do not interact with real particles. In this paper, we assume that the creation of high-energy virtual particles is suppressed by a Boltzmann…
Radiative corrections to the decay rate in the low-Z hydrogen-like muonic atoms are considered. The correction arises from the Uehling potential and it has the relative order of alpha. The numerical results are reported for the 2p-1s…
The hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to muon $g-2$ is examined based on the low energy effective theories of QCD, the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model and hidden local symmetry approach, supplemented by a general information…
We theoretically explore the possibility to detect weak localization of light in a hot atomic vapor, where one usually expects the fast thermal motion of the atoms to destroy any interference in multiple scattering. To this end, we compute…
From the comparison between the experimental and theoretical results for the energy difference between 2s1/2 and 2p1/2 states in hydrogen and hydrogen-like ions with different values of Z, we estimate bounds for the presence of an extra…
Hadronic contributions dominate the uncertainty of the standard model prediction for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In this work, we describe an ongoing lattice calculation of the hadronic light-by-light contribution, performed…
