Abstract

Corrections of the α3, α4, and α5 orders are calculated for the Lamb shift of the 1S and 2S energy levels of muonic hydrogen μp and muonic deuterium μd. The nuclear structure effects are taken into account in terms of the charge radii of the proton r p and deuteron r d for one-photon interaction, as well as in terms of the electromagnetic form factors of the proton and deuteron for the case of one-loop amplitudes. The μdp isotope shift for the 1S-2S splitting is found to be equal to 101003.3495 meV, which can be treated as a reliable estimate when conducting the corresponding experiment with an accuracy of 10−6. The fine-structure intervals E(1S)-8E(2S) in muonic hydrogen and muonic deuteron are calculated.
