摘要
The last unknown contribution to hydrogen energy levels at order m alpha(7), due to the slope of the Dirac form factor at three loops, is evaluated in a closed analytical form. The resulting shift of the hydrogen nS energy level is found to be 3.016/n(3) kHz. Using the QED calculations of the 1S Lamb shift, we extract a precise value of the proton charge radius r(p) = 0.883 +/- 0.014 fm.
