Abstract

The present knowledge of Lamb shift, fine- and hyperfine structure of the and states in muonic deuterium is reviewed in anticipation of the results of a first measurement of several transition frequencies in muonic deuterium (). A term-by-term comparison of all available sources reveals reliable values and uncertainties of the QED and nuclear structure-dependent contributions to the Lamb shift, which are essential for a determination of the deuteron rms charge radius from . Apparent discrepancies between different sources are resolved, in particular for the difficult two-photon exchange contributions. Problematic single-sourced terms are identified which require independent recalculation.
