Abstract

Energy shifts in the shallowest level of the muonic moleculedtμ are estimated by using an accurate wave function of the point-charge three-body system which gives ε 011 = −660.3 meV. Contributions of nuclear finite size, vacuum polarization, relativistic effect and internuclear interaction are evaluated to be +10.4 meV, +17.2 meV, +0.9 meV and ∼ +10−4 meV, respectively. These corrections to ε 011 amount to 28.5 meV, which is significantly different from the corresponding value 20.6 meV of the Soviet group, with serious dependence on the dtμ, formation rate.
