Relativistic fine structure of the (He4,mu) ion 2p-levels

Abstract

Motivated by the recent experimental measures of the 2p-states fine splitting of the muonic He4 ion [1], we think it may have some interest to present an independent calculation in terms of the two-body relativistic equation for a scalar and a fermion developed in [2,3] for mesic atoms. This work can thus be considered an addendum to these last papers in a different range for the masses of the two components. It gives theoretical results in good agreement with the recent experimental measures.
