Description

The energy shift due to the presence of the extended (dtμ)11 pseudonucleus (in its first excited state with one unit of angular momentum) in the quasihydrogenlike system (dtμ)11e1s is estimated using perturbation theory up to second order with two choices of zeroth order electron wavefunctions. The energy shift is found to be 0.50 meV using pure Coulomb electron wavefunctions and 0.58 meV using electron wavefunctions calculated with a potential modified to take partial account of the finite size of (dtμ)11. In both cases, the perturbation Hamiltonian is expanded in multipoles, retaining terms up to and including octupole terms. (orig.)
