Abstract

A α 5 μ 3 (m 1 m 2)−1 (m 1/m 2)ln(m 1/m 2) correction stemming from a consecutive exchange of a Coulomb and a transverse photon between the muon and the electron of the muonium atom is revealed and calculated (μ is the reduced mass of the system). Additional contributions of order α 6 μ 3 (m 1 m 2)−1ln(m 1/m 2) due to one-photon exchange in the muonium atom are taken into account.
