摘要

We present an investigation of the Lamb shift (2P(1/2)-2S(1/2)) in the muonic deuterium (mu D) atom using the three-dimensional quasipotential method in quantum electrodynamics. The vacuum polarization, nuclear-structure, and recoil effects are calculated with the account of contributions of orders alpha(3), alpha(4), alpha(5), and alpha(6). The results are compared with earlier performed calculations. The obtained numerical value of the Lamb shift at 202.4139 meV can be considered a reliable estimate for comparison with forthcoming experimental data.
