Abstract
The relativistic recoil correction to hydrogen energy levels is calcul ated to all orders in alpha Z for the point nucleus. Previously publis hed values have been improved in accuracy. It is found that the recoil correction, beyond the Salpeter one, amounts to -7.16(1) kHz and -0.7 37(3) kHz for the Is and 2s states, respectively. The corresponding co ntribution to the 2s-2p(1/2) Lamb shift constitutes -1.324(3) kHz.
