Description
We consider bound states between an atomic nucleus and a muon,
so called muonic atoms. Especially for high charge numbers, the sur-
rounding atomic electrons do not influence the muon and the system
is essentially hydrogenlike. Just as in normal atoms, there is fine and
hyperfine splitting, but the significance of the various contributions
differs dramatically. In particular, nuclear structure effects are much
bigger, and vacuum polarization effects are very important. We calcu-
late the level structure in heavy muonic atoms, taking several QED
and nuclear structure effects into account in first-order perturbation
theory and beyond. Thereby, precise values of the hyperfine structure
of muonic atoms are obtained [1] and the dependence of transition
energies in muonic atoms on nuclear parameters is investigated.
