Fine and hyperfine structure of P-levels in muonic hydrogen

Abstract

Corrections of orders $α^5$ and $α^6$ are calculated in the fine structure interval $ΔE^{fs}=E(2P_{3/2})-E(2P_{1/2})$ and in the hyperfine structure of the energy levels $2P_{1/2}$ and $2P_{3/2}$ in muonic hydrogen. The obtained numerical values $ΔE^{fs}= 8352.08 μeV$, $Δ\tilde E^{hfs}(2P_{1/2})=7964.36 μeV$, $Δ\tilde E^{hfs}(2P_{3/2})=3392.59 μeV$ can be considered as a reliable estimate for the comparison with corresponding experimental data and for the extraction of the experimental value of the Lamb shift $(2P-2S)$ in muonic hydrogen.
