Improved all-order results for the one-loop QED correction to the hyperfine structure in light H-like atoms

A calculation of the one-loop self-energy and vacuum-polarization corrections to the hyperfine splitting of the 1s and 2s states in light H-like ions is carried out to all orders in the parameter Z α. Using the known values for the Z α-expansion coefficients, the numerical data obtained are extrapolated from Z=5 and higher to Z=0, 1, and 2, with the resulting accuracy being significantly better than in previous evaluations. Our calculation shifts the theoretical value of the normalized difference of the 1s and 2s hyperfine-structure intervals in ^3He^+ by 0.056 kHz and improves its accuracy.

QED calculation of the n=1 and n=2 energy levels in He-like ions

We perform ab initio QED calculations of energy levels for the $n=1$ and $n=2$ states of He-like ions with the nuclear charge in the range $Z = 12$-100. The complete set of two-electron QED corrections is evaluated to all orders in the parameter $\aZ$. Uncalculated contributions to energy levels come through orders $α^3 (\aZ)^2$, $α^2 (\aZ)^7$, and higher. The calculation presented is the first treatment for excited states of He-like ions complete through order $α^2 (\aZ)^4$. A significant improvement in accuracy of theoretical predictions is achieved, especially in the high-$Z$ region.

Screened self-energy correction to the 2p3/2-2s transition energy in Li-like ions

We present an ab initio calculation of the screened self-energy correction for (1s)^2 2p3/2 and (1s)^2 2s states of Li-like ions with nuclear charge numbers in the range Z = 12-100. The evaluation is carried out to all orders in the nuclear-strength parameter Z α. This investigation concludes our calculations of all two-electron QED corrections for the 2p3/2-2s transition energy in Li-like ions and thus considerably improves theoretical predictions for this transition for high-Z ions.

Transition energy and lifetime for the ground state hyperfine splitting of high Z lithiumlike ions

The ground state hyperfine splitting values and the transition probabilities between the hyperfine structure components of high Z lithiumlike ions are calculated in the range $Z=49-83$. The relativistic, nuclear, QED and interelectronic interaction corrections are taken into account. It is found that the Bohr-Weisskopf effect can be eliminated in a combination of the hyperfine splitting values of the hydrogenlike and lithiumlike ions of an isotope. This gives a possibility for testing the QED effects in a combination of the strong electric and magnetic fields of the heavy nucleus. Using the experimental result for the $1s$ hyperfine splitting in ^{209}Bi^{82+}, the 2s hyperfine splitting in ^{209}Bi^{80+} is calculated to be ΔE=0.7969(2) eV.

Recoil correction to the ground state energy of hydrogenlike atoms

The recoil correction to the ground state energy of hydrogenlike atoms is calculated to all orders in αZ in the range Z = 1-110. The nuclear size corrections to the recoil effect are partially taken into account. In the case of hydrogen, the relativistic recoil correction beyond the Salpeter contribution and the nonrelativistic nuclear size correction to the recoil effect, amounts to -7.2(2) kHz. The total recoil correction to the ground state energy in hydrogenlike uranium (^{238}U^{91+}) constitutes 0.46 eV.

Two-electron self-energy contribution to the ground state energy of heliumlike ions

The two-electron self-energy contribution to the ground state energy of heliumlike ions is calculated both for a point nucleus and an extended nucleus in a wide interval of Z. All the two-electron contributions are compiled to obtain most accurate values for the two-electron part of the ground state energy of heliumlike ions in the range Z=20-100. The theoretical value of the ground state energy of heliumlike uranium, based on currently available theory, is evaluated to be -261382.9(8) eV, without higher order one-electron QED corrections.

Ground state hyperfine splitting of high Z hydrogenlike ions

The ground state hyperfine splitting values of high Z hydrogenlike ions are calculated. The relativistic, nuclear and QED corrections are taken into account. The nuclear magnetization distribution correction (the Bohr-Weisskopf effect) is evaluated within the single particle model with the g_{S}-factor chosen to yield the observed nuclear moment. An additional contribution caused by the nuclear spin-orbit interaction is included in the calculation of the Bohr-Weisskopf effect. It is found that the theoretical value of the wavelength of the transition between the hyperfine splitting components in ^{165}Ho^{66+} is in good agreement with experiment.

Nuclear recoil corrections to the $2p_\frac{3}{2}$ state energy of hydrogen-like and high $Z$ lithium like atoms in all orders in $αZ$

The relativistic nuclear recoil corrections to the energy of the $2p_{\frac{3}{2}}$ state of hydrogen-like and the $(1s)^{2}2p_{\frac{3}{2}}$ state of high $Z$ lithium-like atoms in all orders in $αZ$ are calculated. The calculations are carried out using the B-spline method for the Dirac equation. For low $Z$ the results of the calculation are in good agreement with the $αZ$ -expansion results. It is found that the total nuclear recoil contribution to the energy of the $(1s)^{2}2p_{\frac{3}{2}}- (1s)^{2}2s$ transition in lithium-like uranium constitutes $-0.09\,eV$.

Relativistic nuclear recoil corrections to the energy levels of hydrogen-like and high $Z$ lithium like atoms in all orders in $αZ$

The relativistic nuclear recoil corrections to the energy levels of low-laying states of hydrogen-like and high $Z$ lithium-like atoms in all orders in $αZ$ are calculated. The calculations are carried out using the B-spline method for the Dirac equation. For low $Z$ the results of the calculation are in good agreement with the $αZ$ -expansion results. It is found that the nuclear recoil contribution, additional to the Salpeter's one, to the Lamb shift ($n=2$) of hydrogen is $-1.32(6)\,kHz$. The total nuclear recoil correction to the energy of the $(1s)^{2}2p_{\frac{1}{2}}-(1s)^{2}2s$ transition in lithium-like uranium constitutes $-0.07\,eV$ and is largely made up of QED contributions.
