Description

In this paper, I present an evaluation of the two-loop diagrams, including the closed electron loop, which contribute to the Lamb shift in (alpha/pi)2 (Z alpha)5/n3 order. These corrections sum to 2.71061(1) for S states, which gives a 37.41-kHz shift for the 1S state of the hydrogen atom.
