Abstract

The problem of the vacuum polarization potential in muonic atoms is systematically formulated in a framework of Quantum Electrodynamics. The α(Zα)³ contribution is calculated for a point charge and a Yukawa distribution. A logarithmic asymptotic behaviour is found for large values of the momentum. Although this behaviour differs from such previous calculations the energy shifts for₈₂²⁰⁸Pb are not significantly changed. Henceforth experimental and theoretical results remain in agreement.
