Evaluation of the screened vacuum-polarization corrections to the hyperfine splitting of Li-like bismuth

Abstract: The rigorous calculation of the vacuum-polarization screening corrections to the hyperfine splitting in Li-like bismuth is presented. The two-electron diagrams with electric and magnetic vacuum-polarization loops are evaluated to all orders in αZ, including the Wichmann-Kroll contributions. This improves the accuracy of the theoretical prediction for the specific difference of the hyperfine splitting values of H-and Li-like bismuth.

“…The electric-field-induced U el VP and the magnetic-field-induced U ml VP vacuum polarization potentials are defined in a similar way as in Ref. [50]. In order to regularize the ultraviolet divergence terms one has to decompose these potentials into the Uehling and the Wichmann-Kroll parts.…”

“…The screened vacuum‐polarization contribution has been evaluated in the free‐loop approximation in Refs. , and later the major part of the diagrams has been calculated to all orders in αZ . Presently, only the last two diagrams in Fig.…”

“…For many-electron systems, the QED contributions were evaluated by using local screening potential approximation-the so-called extended Furry picture, which implies an additional effective local screening potential in the zero-order Hamiltonian. Lately, the two-electron self-energy [32,33] and a major part of the twoelectron vacuum-polarization [34] corrections were calculated in the framework of the QED approach which yields the correct result to all orders in αZ (α is the fine structure constant, Z is the nuclear charge number). The existing theoretical calculations of electronic correlations are based on the multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock [35], all-orders correlation potential [36,37], configuration interaction [38][39][40], many-body [41], or QED perturbation theory methods.…”
