QED self-energy contribution to highly-excited atomic states

Abstract

We present numerical values for the self-energy shifts predicted by QED (Quantum Electrodynamics) for hydrogenlike ions (nuclear charge $60\le Z\le 110$) with an electron in an $n=3$, 4 or 5 level with high angular momentum ($5/2\le j\le 9/2$). Applications include predictions of precision transition energies and studies of the outer-shell structure of atoms and ions.
