Recent developments in X-ray tests of QED

Abstract

Full text: Experimental tests of QED have developed dramatically for simple systems of hydrogen and helium, but there has also been significant progress for medium-Z hydrogenic and helium-like atoms over the last few years. In this area the tests are often based on X-ray spectroscopic measurements, and here we review some of the key developments. Of particular interest is the status of tests of two-electron QED and of NP subshell and excited state QED. We discuss some secondary tests of the data to confirm the quality, and progress on the dominant systematics in this area.
