Tensor Polarizability of the Nucleus and Angular Mixing in Muonic Deuterium
G. S. Adkins, U. D. Jentschura
We investigate the effects of the tensor polarizability of a nucleus on the bound-state energy levels, and obtain a general formula for the contribution of the tensor polarizabilit…
Relativistic and Recoil Corrections to Light-Fermion Vacuum Polarization for Bound Systems of Spin-0, Spin-1/2, and Spin-1 Particles
G. S. Adkins, U. D. Jentschura
In bound systems whose constituent particles are heavier than the electron, the dominant radiative correction to energy levels is given by light-fermion (electronic) vacuum polariz…
Short-Range Hard-Sphere Potential and Coulomb Interaction: Deser-Trueman Formula for Rydberg States of Exotic Atomic Systems
G. S. Adkins, U. D. Jentschura
In exotic atomic systems with hadronic constituent particles, it is notoriously difficult to estimate the strong-interaction correction to energy levels. It is well known that, due…
Bound Deuteron-Antideuteron System (Deuteronium): Leading Radiative and Internal-Structure Corrections to Bound-State Energies
G. S. Adkins, U. D. Jentschura
We evaluate the energy levels of the deuteronium bound system, which consists of a deuteron and an antideuteron, with a special emphasis on states with nonvanishing orbital angular…
