Lamb formula

The diamagnetic term local electronic circulations around the nucleus induced by the applied field B0. According to the Lenz rule, the resultant intramolecular field opposes B0, so that the nucleus will be shielded. As known from the Lamb formula, eq. 3.3 [9],... 

Abstract. This paper examines two theoretical aspects of the interference of atomic states in hydrogen which comes from the application of an external electric field F to the 2s metastable state. The radiative corrections to the Bethe-Lamb formula and anisotropy contribution to the angular distribution, which arises from interference between electric-field-induced El-radiation and forbidden Ml-radiation, are analysed. 

The contributions to the chemical shift that we have discussed so far are all local, based on the shielding of electrons surrounding the nucleus being probed. What the Lamb formula, Eq. 5.45, fails to take directly into account is that the magnetic held at the nucleus Biocal affected by magnetic fields that are induced in neighboring atoms and functional groups, which we call non-local effects. 

This expression fits the exact potential in the interval 0.01 < x < 1.0 with an accuracy of about 1%, and due to an exponential decrease of the wave functions and smallness of the potential at large distances, it may be safely used for calculations at all x. After numerical calculation with this interpolation formula we obtain for the 2P — 2S Lamb shift [29]... 

As in the case of the Lamb shift, QED provides the framework for systematic calculation of numerous corrections to the Fermi formula for hyperfine splitting (see the scheme of muonium energy levels in Fig. 8.3). We again... 

Of course, Z = for muon, but the Fermi formula is valid for any heavy nucleus with arbitrary Z. As in the case of the Lamb shift, it is useful to preserve Z 9iS parameter in all formulae for the different contributions to HFS, since it helps to clarify the origin of different corrections. 

All yet uncalculated nonrecoil corrections to the Lamb shift almost cancel in the formula for the isotope shift, which is thus much more accurate than the theoretical expressions for the Lamb shifts. Theoretical uncertainty of the isotope shift is mainly determined by the unknown single logarithmic and nonlogarithmic contributions of order ZaY m/M) and a(Za) (m/M) (see Sects. 4.3 and 5.2), and also by the uncertainties of the deuteron size and structure contributions discussed in Chap. 6. Overall theoretical uncertainty of all contributions to the isotope shift, besides the leading proton and deuteron size corrections does not exceed 0.8 kHz. 

Theoretical calculation of the fLe+ Lamb shift is straightforward with all the formulae given above. It is only necessary to recall that all contributions scale with the power of Z, and the terms with high power of Z are enhanced in comparison with the hydrogen case. Theoretical uncertainty is estimated by scaling with Z the uncertainty of the hydrogen formulae. After calculation we obtain Lth(2S — 2P,He ) = 14 041.46 (3) MHz. We see that the theoretical and experimental results for the classic Lamb shift in helium differ by about two standard deviations of the experimental result. Clearly, further reduction of the experimental error is desirable, and the reason for this mild discrepancy should be clarified.

Quoting Sir Horace Lamb [6], p. 210 There is an exact correspondence between the analytical relations above developed and certain formulae in Electro-magnetism. Hence, the vortex-filaments correspond to electric circuits, the strengths of the vortices to the strengths of the currents in these circuits, sources and sinks to positive and negative poles, and finally, fluid velocity to magnetic force. ... 

In addition, a total of 14 sulfamethazine and 3 sulfadimethoxine violations occurred among 7824 samples from all slaughter classes monitored for sulfonamides, Bob calves exhibited four sulfonamides violations, sows and boar/stags three, and lambs and market hogs two. One sulfonamide violation was observed in each of non-formula-fed veal, goats, and geese. Swine exhibited 24 violative samples of 15,600 analyses in swine in 1996 violative levels of sulfadimethoxine were reported in the muscle of one animal. Violative levels of sulfamethazine were reported in the muscle of 15 animals, in the muscle and liver of 7 animals, and in the liver of 1 animal. 

The last formulae can be obtained from the motion equation written in the Lamb form... 

By comparison of one quarter of the IS1 — 25 transition frequency with the 25 — 45 and 25 — 4D transition frequency, the main energy contributions described by the simple Rydberg formula are eliminated. The remaining difference frequency (about 5 GHz) is determined by well known relativistic contributions, the hyperfine interaction, and a combination of Lamb shifts. Since quantum electrodynamic contributions scale roughly as 1/n3 with the principal quantum number, the Lamb shift of the 15 level is the largest. 

Barely had spectroscopists absorbed news of the Lamb shift when another bombshell burst the g-factor of the electron was not exactly 2. You, who (for the most part) have grown up knowing this will find it difficult to realise how shattering it was to see that beautiful symmetry destroyed. The news came also from Columbia in 1947 NAFE, NELSON and RABI [49] discovered that the hfs of the ground state of hydrogen was 1 part in 103 larger than its value evaluated from the Fermi formula using ge = 2. There followed a succession of experiments (also described in [48]) whereby the... 

For molecules the Lamb theory is inadequate because it assumes that the electrons are free to move in any direction, whereas in a molecule electronic motion is severely restricted. Ramsey50 used second-order perturbation theory to develop a formula that in principle accounts for the shielding factor in molecules and has long provided a framework for qualitative understanding of the major factors... 

It may be of interest to outline relatively recent developments. On the basis of a comprehensive analysis of volcanic chronology since 1500 AD, Lamb (1970) had introduced a criterion, the Dust Veil Index (DVI), for relating empirically the climatic effects to the characteristics of the eruption. The DVI was expressed with three alternative formulae, claimed to be equivalent, each expression being the product of three quantities ...

In the nonrelativistic calculation the Dirac equation is replaced by the Schrodinger one. The formula that is obtained (see [2]), which is convergent, is, if the dipole approximation is applied (i.e. Tj-(k) are replaced by Tj-(O)), the formula used in [4] for the first calculation proposed for the explanation of the Lamb shift. But this last formula is divergent and its use implies that the integration upon k is cut off for a k = kmax. In [23] the value of kmax = ante2 has been proposed and was used in the following calculations of the Lamb shift. 

Dirac s formula still awaited its decisive test. Suspicion had, been cast on it through the spectroscopic observations and suggestions for its amendment had been explored (an account is given by Lamb [79]), but none of these gave results of the required magnitude. The microwave experiment of Lamb, which we shall describe in the next chapter, confirmed the discrepancy, and developments in the theory of quantum electrodynamics explained it. In Chapter X we shall review the quantitative tests of the new theory. 

It is to be emphasized that these formulae have been obtained by the use of second-order perturbation theory taken to the first significant terms. The Lamb shifts obtained from them have been refined by the evaluation of smaller terms in the second order, and by the calculation of higher orders in the perturbation expansion also by corrections for the finite mass and volume of the nucleus, The papers [119], [la], [52] (see also [9]), summarize the position at the time of writing.
