Weak Interaction Contributions in Light Muonic Atoms

Abstract

Weak interaction contributions to hyperfine splitting and Lamb shift in light electronic and muonic atoms are calculated. We notice that correction to hyperfine splitting turns into zero for deuterium. Weak correction to the Lamb shift in hydrogen is additionally suppressed in comparison with other cases by a small factor $(1-4\sin^2\theta_W)$.Comment: Minor editorial corrections, reference added, version to be published in Phys.
