Description

Results are given of a calculation of the self-energy radiative level shift of order α of the 2S1/2 and 2p1/2 states in a strong Coulomb potential. The shift is evaluated numerically to all orders in Zα for Z in the range 10--110. An estimate is obtained for the effect of terms of high order in Zα on the Lamb shift in hydrogen. With this estimate taken into account, the theoretical value is S=1057.864(14) MHz
