Proton recoil and radiative level shifts

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
Proton mass corrections to the Lamb shift of hydrogen of order ..cap alpha..(Z..cap alpha..)/sup 5/m/sup 2//M are evaluated. These contributions are expected new terms beyond those given earlier for recoil effects to the self-energy of a bound electron in the external-field approximation. The new contribution of this order is -0.53 kHz, thus making the complete radiative-recoil correction of this order -2.53 kHz.
