Calculation of quasi-degenerate energy levels of two-electron ions
Accurate QED calculations of the interelectron interaction corrections for
the , two-electron configurations for ions
with nuclear charge numbers are performed within the line
profile approach. Total energies of these configurations are evaluated.
Employing the fully relativistic treatment based on the {--} coupling
scheme these energy levels become quasi-degenerate in the region . To
treat such states within the framework of QED we utilize the line profile
approach. The calculations are performed within the Coulomb gauge.Comment: 22 pages, 11 figure
Excited states of the helium-antihydrogen system
Potential energy curves for excited leptonic states of the
helium-antihydrogen system are calculated within Ritz' variational approach. An
explicitly correlated ansatz for the leptonic wave function is employed
describing accurately the motion of the leptons (two electrons and positron) in
the field of the helium nucleus and of the antiproton with arbitrary orbital
angular momentum projection onto the internuclear axis. Results for
=0, 1 and 30 are presented. For quasibound states with large values of
and rotational quantum numbers no annihilation and
rearrangement decay channels occur, i. e. they are metastable
Asymmetry of the natural line profile for the hydrogen atom
The asymmetry of the natural line profile for transitions in hydrogen-like
atoms is evaluated within a QED framework. For the Lyman-alpha
absorption transition in neutral hydrogen this asymmetry results in an
additional energy shift of 2.929856 Hz. For the transition
it amounts to -1.512674 Hz. As a new feature this correction turns out to be
process dependent. The quoted numbers refer to the Compton-scattering process.Comment: RevTex, 7 Latex pages, 1 figur
