We find a shift of -3.40(7) kHz to the 1S level of hydrogen. We also comment on the contribution of this effect to the determination by elastic electron scattering of the rms radii of nuclei.3 p.application/pdfeng(c) The American Physical Society, 1999Teoria atòmicaElectrodinàmica quànticaElectronic structureEstructura electrònicaQuantum electrodynamicsAtomic theoryHadronic vacuum polarization and the Lamb shiftinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article181569info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
