We consider a correction to energy levels in a pionic atom induced by the Uehling potential, i.e., by a free electron vacuum-polarization loop. The calculation is performed for circular states (l = n–1). The result is obtained in a closed analytic form as a function of Zα and the pion-to-electron mass ratio. Certain asymptotics of the result are also presented.PACS Nos.: 12.20.Ds, 36.10.Gv

The discrepancies between the observed and the calculated ground state energies of P and S+ impurities in silicon are discussed on the basis of a cavity model which roughly accounts for the spatial dependence of the inverse dielectric function in the vicinity of the impurity. Applying simple effective mass theory (without reference to the KOHN—LUTTINGER semi-empirical correction method), it is shown that the model yields energy levels (and also the wave function at the P donor nucleus) in fair agreement with the experiments, if the effective cavity radius r0 is assumed to resemble the WIGNER-SEITZ radius rs rather than the nearest neighbour distance rd of the Si host lattice.The result depends critically on the assumption that the effective mass m* related to the bottom of the conduction band, may be used even for levels as deep as S+. Application of the cavity model in connection with the free electron mass m0 , gives rise to an almost zero cavity radius which appears to be inconsistent with various estimates yielding rs ≲ r0 ≲ rd. It is concluded that the effective mass theory rather than a free electron mass equation will be the appropriate starting point for a more refined treatment of the S+ spectrum and that of related defects.The paper contains a discussion of various relevant aspects of the problem as well as a review of some different attempts to account for the discrepancies.

We report on our recent advances in the calculation of the energy levels of the H+2 molecular ion, including relativistic and radiative corrections. These theoretical efforts are linked to the prospect of obtaining a new determination of the proton to electron mass ratio mp/me through precise vibrational spectroscopy of H+2. We describe the setup of our experiment, aiming at a measurement of the L = 2, υ = 0 → L = 2, υ = 1 two-photon transition at 9.166 μm using a phase-locked quantum cascade laser as excitation source.PACS Nos.: 31.15.Pf, 31.30.Jv, 32.10.Hq

We calculate vacuum-polarization corrections to the g-factor of a bound electron in the ground state of a hydrogenlike atom. The result is found in a closed analytic form for an arbitrary value of the nuclear charge Z. It is valid for both electronic and muonic atoms. Some useful asymptotics are also presented. The result for the electronic atoms is consistent with published numerical data. PACS Nos.: 31.30Jv

Astrophysical tests of current values for dimensionless constants known on Earth, such as the fine-structure constant, α , and proton-to-electron mass ratio, μ = m p / m e , are communicated using data from high-resolution quasar spectra in different regions or epochs of the universe. The symmetry wavelengths of [Fe II] lines from redshifted quasar spectra of J110325-264515 and their corresponding values in the laboratory were combined to find a new limit on space-time variations in the proton-to-electron mass ratio, ∆ μ / μ = ( 0.096 ± 0.182 ) × 10 − 7 . The results show how the indicated astrophysical observations can further improve the accuracy and space-time variations of physics constants.

Abstract In this paper we investigate the form factors of paths for a class of non Gaussian processes. These processes are characterized in terms of the Mittag-Leffler function. In particular, we obtain a closed analytic form for the form factors, the Debye function, and can study their asymptotic decay.

We calculate the second-order corrections to vacuum polarization tensor of photons at low temperatures, i.e. T ≪ 1010 K (T ≪ me). The thermal contributions to the QED coupling constant are evaluated at temperatures below the electron mass that is T < me. Renormalization of QED at these temperatures has explicitly been checked. The electromagnetic properties of such a thermal medium are modified. Parameters like electric permittivity and magnetic permeability of such a medium are no more constant and become functions of temperature.
