Abstract
Theoretically, light muonic atoms have two main special features as compared with the ordinary electronic hydrogenlike atoms, both of which are connected with the fact that the muon is about 200 times heavier than the electron1. First, the role of the radiative corrections generated by the closed electron loops is greatly enhanced, and second, the leading proton size contribution becomes the second largest individual contribution to the energy shifts after the polarization correction.
