An ab initio calculation of the hyperfine splitting (HFS) intervals in the 2s1/2(mu)1s1/2(e) state of the exotic (4He2+ - mu-e-)0 and (3He2+ - mu-e-)0 atoms is carried out. The smallness of beta = me/mmu approximately 1/200 (the electron and the mu-meson mass ratio) enables us to take into account the non-relativistic interparticle correlational interaction perturbatively. Corresponding corrections, which give the dominant contribution to the HFS, are calculated to logarithmic accuracy analytically and exactly. Together with the leading relativistic and radiative corrections the HFS values obtained turn out to be in accord with the results of other calculations.
We report a novel closed-form analytic representation for the linear response relativistic wave function of the hydrogenic ns(1/2) level that is exposed to dipole radiation of frequency omega. This result is derived by means of a direct analytical solution of the inhomogeneous omega-dependent Dirac equation. The utility of the formulas obtained is demonstrated by new analytic and numerical calculations of the static and dynamic relativistic dynamic polarizabilities of the lowest hydrogenic ns(1/2) states.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
