This is the first of a series of papers on a systematic application of the NRQED bound state theory of Caswell and Lepage to higher-order radiative corrections to the hyperfine structure of the muonium ground state. This paper describes the…
NRQED approach to the fine and hyperfine structure corrections of order m$\alpha$ 6 and m$\alpha$ 6 (m/M)-Application to the hydrogen atom The NRQED approach is applied to the calculation of relativistic corrections to the fine and…
Terms contributing to the hyperfine structure of the muonium ground state at the level of few tenths of kHz have been evaluated. The $\alpha^2 (Z\alpha)$ radiative correction has been calculated numerically to the precision of 0.02 kHz.…
In T.Zhang, L.Xiao and R.Koniuk, Can. J. Phys. {\bf 70}, 670 (1992), a new method was developed to calculate energy levels in QED nonrelativistic bound states, up to order m \alpha^5. Whether or not this method could be used beyond this…
This is the second of a series of papers on the radiative corrections of order $\alpha^2 (Z\alpha)$, $\alpha (Z\alpha )^2$, and various logarithmic terms of order $\alpha^4$, to the hyperfine structure of the muonium ground state. This…
Nonrelativistic QED bound states are difficult to study because of the presence of at least three widely different scales: the masses, three-momenta ($p_i$) and kinetic energies ($K_i$) of the constituents. Nonrelativistic QED (NRQED), an…
We present a pedagogical introduction to NRQED (non-relativistic quantum electrodynamics). NRQED is an effective field theory that describes the interaction of non-relativistic, possibly composite, spin-half particle with the…
We propose an effective field theory for heavy quark-antiquark bound states once the soft gluons have been integrated out. We also give new results for the matching between QCD (QED) and NRQCD (NRQED).
A complete effective Hamiltonian for relativistic corrections at orders $m\alpha^6$ and $m\alpha^6(m/M)$ in a one-electron molecular system is derived from the NRQED Lagrangian. It includes spin-independent corrections to the energy levels…
The purpose of this article is twofold. First, we attempt to give a brief overview of the different application areas of quantum electrodynamics (QED). These include fundamental physics (prediction of atomic energy levels), where the atom…
We discuss heavy quarkonium in the framework of pNRQCD, a QCD effective theory appropriate for the study of heavy quark bound systems.
The parity and time-reversal invariant effective lagrangian for a heavy fermion interacting with an abelian gauge field, i.e., NRQED, is constructed through order $1/M^4$. The implementation of Lorentz invariance in the effective theory…
We compute the next-to-leading, O(m alpha^5), contribution to the hyperfine splitting in positronium within the framework of NRQED. When applied to the ground state, our calculation reproduces known results, providing a further test of…
Ab initio method based on a complex-scaling approach and aimed at a rigorous QED description of autoionizing states is worked out. The autoionizing-state binding energies are treated nonperturbatively in $\alpha Z$ and include all the…
We consider the most accurate tests of bound state QED, precision theory of simple atoms, related to the hyperfine splitting in light hydrogen-like atoms. We discuss the HFS interval of the 1s state in muonium and positronium and of the 2s…
We consider a free hydrogen atom composed of a spin-1/2 nucleus and a spin-1/2 electron in the standard model of non-relativistic QED. We study the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian associated with this system at a fixed total momentum. For small…
We compute O(alpha^3 ln alpha) relative corrections to the ground state hyperfine splitting of a QED two body bound state with different masses of constituents. The general result is then applied to muonium and positronium. In particular, a…
The energy levels of the muonium ($\mu^+ e^-$) atom, which consists of two ''point-like'' leptonic particles, can be calculated to very high accuracy in the framework of bound state Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), since there are no…
We discuss in detail potential NRQED (pNRQED), a previously proposed effective field theory for ultrasoft photons. The pNRQED lagrangian for the equal mass case is presented and it is shown that it correctly reproduces the positronium…
In a typical exclusive quarkonium production process, when the center-of-mass energy, $\sqrt{s}$, is much greater than the heavy quark mass $m$, large kinematic logarithms of $s/m^2$ will unavoidably arise at each order of perturbative…
