Abstract
Novel methods for determining the 1s Lamb shift of hydrogenic ions are outl ined. In one method the energy of a 2-1 transition in the hydrogenic ion of nuclear charge Z is compared to a 4-2 transition in the hydrogenic ion of charge 2Z. A second method exploits close coincidences between Lyman series transitions in ions of similar Z.
