Abstract
We present the most accurate up-to-date theoretical values of the {2p_{1/2}}-{2s} and {2p_{3/2}}-{2s} transition energies and the ground-state hyperfine splitting in . All two- and three-electron contributions to the energy values up to the two-photon level are treated in the framework of bound-state QED without $\aZ$-expansion. The interelectronic interaction beyond the two-photon level is taken into account by means of the large-scale configuration-interaction Dirac-Fock-Sturm (CI-DFS) method. The relativistic recoil correction is calculated with many-electron wave functions in order to take into account the electron-correlation effect. The accuracy of the transition energy values is improved by a factor of five compared to the previous calculations. The CI-DFS calculation of interelectronic-interaction effects and the evaluation of the QED correction in an effective screening potential provide significant improvement for the hyperfine splitting. The results obtained are in a good agreement with recently published experimental data.
