Hyperfine Interactions Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We discuss the status and open problems of recent calculations on QED effects in heavy few-electron ions. In particular, we examine corrections in these systems which are not of quantum electrodynamical origin but which might influence energy shifts on the same order-of-magnitude as the accuracy of present-day QED calculations.
