Lamb Shift Calculated by a Semiquantitative Method

  • The radiative correction of self-energy of an electron moving with momentum p and emitting-absorbing the virtual photon is calculated by the noncovariant quantum perturbation theory to have the form being b2p4. After adding modifications arising from the vacuum polarization and finite nucleus size,we find the Lamb shift (LS) of 2S1/2-2P1/2 states in Hydrogen atom being 1056.522 MHz,smaller than the experimental value 1057.845 MHz by 0.13%. Taking the relativistic modification by Dirac equation into account,the energy differences of 4D5/24S1/2 states, the so-called Hyper LS and absolute LS of 1S state in Hydrogen are also calculated with maximum discrepancy up to 6.7%. The reasons are analyzed.For dealing with the divergence,we propose a simple but effective regularization renormalization method,showing that we have to reconfirm the reduced mass first before bringing a finite and fixed modification to it via radiative corrections.

Abstract: The radiative correction of self-energy of an electron moving with momentum p and emitting-absorbing the virtual photon is calculated by the noncovariant quantum perturbation theory to have the form being b2p4. After adding modifications arising from the vacuum polarization and finite nucleus size,we find the Lamb shift (LS) of 2S1/2-2P1/2 states in Hydrogen atom being 1056.522 MHz,smaller than the experimental value 1057.845 MHz by 0.13%. Taking the relativistic modification by Dirac equation into account,the energy differences of 4D5/24S1/2 states, the so-called Hyper LS and absolute LS of 1S state in Hydrogen are also calculated with maximum discrepancy up to 6.7%. The reasons are analyzed.For dealing with the divergence,we propose a simple but effective regularization renormalization method,showing that we have to reconfirm the reduced mass first before bringing a finite and fixed modification to it via radiative corrections.
