摘要
The theory of the 2S1/2 - 2P1/2 Lamb shift of hydrogen is reviewed and compared to experiment. Recent corrections from radiative recoil of order alpha(Zalpha)5 m2/M and pure recoil of order (Zalpha)6 m2/M are discussed Contributions of order alpha2(Zalpha)5 m have been calculated from certain classes of diagrams. These are described while other as yet uncalculated terms are mentioned. The largest error in the theory is due to the uncertain measured value of the proton electromagnetic radius.
