Lamb shift in muonic deuterium atom
Abstract
We present new investigation of the Lamb shift (2P1/2-2S1/2) in muonic deuterium (mu d) atom using the three-dimensional quasipotential method in quantum electrodynamics. The vacuum polarization, nuclear structure and recoil effects are calculated with the account of contributions of orders alpha3, alpha4, alpha5 and alpha6. The results are compared with earlier performed calculations. The obtained numerical value of the Lamb shift 202.4139 meV can be considered as a reliable estimate for the comparison with forthcoming experimental data.
