This paper continues the analysis of bound quantum systems started in (T. Yarman, A.L. Kholmetskii and O.V. Missevitch. Going from classical to quantum description of bound charged particles. Part 1: basic concepts and assertions), based on a novel approach, involving the requirement of energy-momentum conservation for the bound electromagnetic (EM) field, when the EM radiation is forbidden. It has been shown that the modified expression for the energy levels of hydrogenic atoms within such a pure bound field theory (PBFT) provides the same gross and fine structure of energy levels, like in the standard theory. At the scale of hyperfine interactions our approach, in general, evokes important corrections to the energy levels. Part of such corrections, like the spin-spin splitting in hydrogen, is less than the present theoretical uncertainty in the evaluation of hyperfine contributions into the atomic levels. But the most interesting result is the appearance of a number of significant corrections, which improve the convergence between theory and experiment. In particular, the corrected 1S-2S interval and 1S spin-spin splitting in positronium reduce the existing up to date discrepancy between theoretical and experimental data. The re-estimated classic 2S-2P Lamb shift in the hydrogen atom lead to the proton charge radius rp=0.841(6) fm, which perfectly agrees with the latest estimation of proton size via the measurement of 2S-2P Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen, i.e. rp=0.84184(67) fm.

In this paper we analyze again a transition from the classical to quantum description of bound charged particles, which involves a substantial modification of the structure of their electromagnetic (EM) fields related to the well-known fact that boun d micro-particles do not radiate in sta-tionary energy states. We show that a simple exclusion of the radiative component of EM field produced by bound particles leads to a violation of the energy-momentum conservation law, if the non-radiative EM field is left unmodified. In order to restore the energy-momentum conservation, we make a closer look at the interaction of two hypothetical classical charges with the prohibited radiation component of their EM field and bring the appropriate modifications in the structure of their bound EM field and, accordingly, in the Hamilton function of this system. In comparison with the common Hamilton function for the one-body problem, the electric interaction energy is multiplied by the Lorentz factor of orbiting charged particle, and its rest mass m is replaced by an effective rest mass parameter, which includes the interaction EM energy. We introduce, as a novel postulate, these replacements into the Dirac equation for the bound electron and show that the solution of the modified Dirac Coulomb equation gives the same gross and fine structure of energy levels, as the one furnished by the conventional approach, for hydrogen-like atoms. The correction to spin-spin splitting of 1S state of hydrogen and heavier atoms is much smaller than nuclear structure contribution and can be ignored. However, as discussed in the part 2 of this paper, our approach does induce corrections to the energy levels at the scale of hyperfine interactions, which at once remove a number of long-standing discrepancies between theory and experiment in the atomic physics.

We present a new evaluation of the negatively charged pion mass based on the simultaneous spec-troscopy of pionic nitrogen and muonic oxygen transitions using a gaseous target composed by a N 2 /O 2 mixture at 1.4 bar. We present the experimental set up and the methods for deriving the pion mass value from the spatial separation from the 5g -- 4 f $pi$N transition line and the 5g -- 4 f $mu$O transition line used as reference. Moreover, we discuss the importance to use dilute targets in order to minimize the influence of additional spectral lines from the presence of remaining electrons during the radiative emission. The occurrence of possible satellite lines is investigated via hypothesis testing methods using the Bayes factor.

Exact density functionals for the exchange and correlation energies are approximated in practical calculations for the ground-state electronic structure of a many-electron system. An important exact constraint for the construction of approximations i s to recover the correct non-relativistic large-$Z$ expansions for the corresponding energies of neutral atoms with atomic number $Z$ and electron number $N=Z$, which are correct to leading order ($-0.221 Z^{5/3}$ and $-0.021 Z ln Z$ respectively) even in the lowest-rung or local density approximation. We find that hydrogenic densities lead to $E_x(N,Z) approx -0.354 N^{2/3} Z$ (as known before only for $Z gg N gg 1$) and $E_c approx -0.02 N ln N$. These asymptotic estimates are most correct for atomic ions with large $N$ and $Z gg N$, but we find that they are qualitatively and semi-quantitatively correct even for small $N$ and for $N approx Z$. The large-$N$ asymptotic behavior of the energy is pre-figured in small-$N$ atoms and atomic ions, supporting the argument that widely-predictive approximate density functionals should be designed to recover the correct asymptotics. It is shown that the exact Kohn-Sham correlation energy, when calculated from the pure ground-state wavefunction, should have no contribution proportional to $Z$ in the $Zto infty$ limit for any fixed $N$.

A theoretical study the all two-photon transitions from initial bound states with ni = 2, 3 in hydrogenic ions is presented. High-precision values of relativistic decay rates for ions with nuclear charge in the range 1 =< Z =< 92 are obtained through the use of finite basis sets for the Dirac equation constructed from B-splines. We also report the spectral (energy) distributions of several resonant transitions, which exhibit interesting structures, such as zeroes in the emission spectrum, indicating that two-photon emission is strongly suppressed at certain frequencies. We compare two different approaches (the Line Profile Approach (LPA) and the QED approach based on the analysis of the relativistic two-loop self energy (TLA)) to regularize the resonant contribution to the decay rate. Predictions for the pure two-photon contributions obtained in these approaches are found to be in a good numerical agreement.

Much progress in the theory of positron scattering on atoms has been made in the ten years since the review of Surko, Gribakin and Buckman [J. Phys. B 38, R57 (2005)]. We review this progress for few-electron targets with a particular emphasis on the two-centre convergent close-coupling and other theories which explicitly treat positronium (Ps) formation. While substantial progress has been made for Ps formation in positron scattering on few-electron targets, considerable theoretical development is still required for multielectron atomic and molecular targets.
