Maximal Acceleration Corrections to the Lamb Shift of Muonic Hydrogen

Abstract

The maximal acceleration corrections to the Lamb shift of muonic hydrogen are calculated by using the relativistic Dirac wave functions. The correction for the $2S-2P$ transition is $\sim 0.38$ meV and is higher than the accuracy of present QED calculations and of the expected accuracy of experiments in preparation.Comment: LaTex file, 9 pages, to be published in Il Nuovo Cimento
