Evaluation of the Lamb Shift for the Hydrogen Molecule–Ion

The Lamb shift of the hydrogen molecule–ions H2+ and HD+ have been calculated to the lowest order in the radiative corrections. It is found to depend sensitively on internuclear separation and therefore to shift the various vibrational levels by a different amount. Possible experimental tests are co...

Description
Summary:The Lamb shift of the hydrogen molecule–ions H2+ and HD+ have been calculated to the lowest order in the radiative corrections. It is found to depend sensitively on internuclear separation and therefore to shift the various vibrational levels by a different amount. Possible experimental tests are considered for the detection of these quantum electrodynamical effects.
