Theory of the Lamb shift and Fine Structure in muonic ⁴He ions and the muonic ³He-⁴He Isotope Shift
read the original abstract
We provide an up to date summary of the theory contributions to the 2S-2P Lamb shift and the fine structure of the 2P state in the muonic helium ion $(\mathrm{\mu^4He})^+$. This summary serves as the basis for the extraction of the alpha particle charge radius from the muonic helium Lamb shift measurements at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland. Individual theory contributions needed for a charge radius extraction are compared and compiled into a consistent summary. The influence of the alpha particle charge distribution on the elastic two-photon exchange is studied to take into account possible model-dependencies of the energy levels on the electric form factor of the nucleus. We also discuss the theory uncertainty which enters the extraction of the $\mathrm{^3He-^4He}$ isotope shift from the muonic measurements. The theory uncertainty of the extraction is much smaller than a present discrepancy between previous isotope shift measurements. This work completes our series of $n=2$ theory compilations in light muonic atoms which we have performed already for muonic hydrogen, deuterium, and helium-3 ions.

Hadronic vacuum polarization in hydrogen-like atoms and ions amid the interplay of recoil and finite-size effects
The hVP contribution to the HFS in muonic hydrogen is 2.153(11) µeV, deviating from previous evaluations by ~10x the anticipated experimental precision, due to corrected recoil and finite-size interplay.
