The deuteron charge radius is calculated from the measurement of the Lamb shift in muonic deuterium, taking into account the electron vacuum polarization correction to the nuclear-structure effects. This correction is unexpectedly large and…
We argue that the proton's charge-radius contributes differently to shifts of Hydrogen-like energy levels than naively expected due to an incorrect choice for the boundary condition at the proton's position in standard calculations. In…
We show that the value of the proton mass depends on each bound state of muonic or electronic hydrogen atom. The charged particle bound to the proton produces magnetic field inside the proton. This makes a change to the amount of chiral…
Nuclear structure corrections to energy levels of light muonic atoms are derived with particular attention to the nuclear mass dependence. The obtained result for the 2P-2S transition of 1.717(19) meV serves for determination of the nuclear…
The extraction of nuclear charge radii from spectroscopy experiments in muonic atoms is currently limited by the large uncertainties associated with the theoretical evaluation of the nuclear polarizability effects. To facilitate…
High-precision spectroscopy of muonic atoms provides a powerful probe for new short-range interactions predicted by theories beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this work, we derive new constraints on both spin-independent and spin-dependent…
We consider the consequences of the presence of metric fluctuations upon the properties of a hydrogen atom. Particularly, we introduce these metric fluctuations in the corresponding effective Schroedinger equation and deduce the…
In muonic atoms the Uehling potential (an effect of a free electronic vacuum polarization loop) is responsible for the leading contribution to the Lamb shift causing the splitting of states with Delta n = 0 and Delta l \neq 0. Here we…
We have calculated differential, total and transport cross sections for muonic hydrogen in the n=2 state scattering from hydrogen. The metastable fraction of the 2S state that slows down below the 2P threshold without undergoing collisional…
The theoretical status of the muon anomaly is reviewed including the recent change in the light by light hadronic correction. Specific attention is given to the implications of the shift in the difference between the BNL experimental result…
We compute an $\mathcal{O}\left(\alpha^2(Z\alpha)^6\right)$ contribution to the hydrogen-atom Lamb shift arising from the light-by-light scattering. Analogous diagrams, with one atomic electric field insertion replaced by an external…
We study the shift of the energy levels of electrons on helium surface due to the coupling to the quantum field of surface vibrations. As in quantum electrodynamics, the coupling is known, and it is known to lead to an ultraviolet…
We calculate the one- and two-loop corrections of order alpha(Zalpha)^6 and alpha^2(Zalpha)^6 respectively, to the Lamb shift in hydrogen-like systems using the formalism of nonrelativistic quantum electrodynamics. We obtain general results…
We calculate hard spin-independent contributions to energy levels in muonium and positronium which are due to radiatively corrected electron factor insertion in two-photon exchange diagrams. Calculation of these corrections is motivated by…
A measurement of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen yields a charge radius of the proton that is smaller than the CODATA value by about 5 standard deviations. We explore the possibility that new scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and tensor…
New corrections to the energy of $S$-levels of positronium of order $m\alpha^6$ which are as large as several hundred kilohertz are obtained. A new recoil correction of order $\alpha(Z\alpha)^5(m/M)m$ to the Lamb shift in hydrogen is…
The physics that determines the line shape of the 1S--2S transition in magnetically trapped $\bar{\rm H}$ is explored. Besides obtaining an understanding of the line shape, one goal is to replace the dependence on large scale simulations of…
We give an update on the status of the hadronic light-by-light scattering contribution to the muon g-2. We review recent work by various groups, list some of the open problems and give an outlook on how to better control the uncertainty of…
Hydrogen-like light muonic ions, in which one negative muon replaces all the electrons, are extremely sensitive probes of nuclear structure, because the large muon mass increases tremendously the wave function overlap with the nucleus.…
The results and main steps of an analytic calculation of radiative-recoil corrections of order $\alpha(Z\alpha)^5(m/M)m$ to the Lamb shift in hydrogen are presented. The calculations are performed in the infrared safe Yennie gauge. The…
