Self-energy values for P states in hydrogen and low-Z hydrogenlike ions
Abstract
We describe a nonperturbative (in Zalpha) numerical evaluation of the one-photon electron self energy for 3P1/2, 3P3/2, 4P1/2 and 4P3/2 states in hydrogenlike atomic systems with charge numbers Z=1 to 5. The numerical results are found to be in agreement with known terms in the expansion of the self energy in powers of Zalpha and lead to improved theoretical predictions for the self-energy shift of these states.
