Abstract

We present new calculation of the Lamb shift (2P1/2 βˆ’ 2S1/2), fine splitting of the 2P state and hyperfine splitting of the 2S state in muonic deuterium (Β΅d) using the quasipotential method in quantum electrodynamics. The vacuum polarization, nuclear structure, and recoil effects are calculated with the account of contributions of orders Ξ±3, Ξ±4, Ξ±5, and Ξ±6. The obtained numerical value of the Lamb shift 202.4139 meV can be considered as a reliable estimate for the comparison with forthcoming experimental data.
