P. Indelicato et Pj. Mohr, 6s and 8d state self-energy for hydrogen-like ions and new results on the self-energy screening, HYPER INTER, 114(1-4), 1998, pp. 147-153
We use a recently published method for the renormalization of the self-ener
gy to calculate the self-energy of 6s and 8d levels to all orders in Z alph
a. We demonstrate the accuracy of the method and its potential for high-n,
low-Z applications. We also show that this method is perfectly suited for t
he evaluation of the two-electron self-energy (self-energy screening). For
the first time, evaluation of the screening of the 1s electron by a second
one in either the 1s, 2s, 2p(1/2) Or 2p(3/2) shells has been performed, for
30 less than or equal to Z less than or equal to 92.
