Abstract

We present numerical values for the self-energy shifts predicted by QED (Quantum Electrodynamics) for hydrogenlike ions (nuclear charge 60 Z 110) with an electron in an n=3, 4 or 5 level with high angular momentum (5/2 j 9/2). Applications include predictions of precision transition energies and studies of the outer-shell structure of atoms and ions.
