摘要
Two-loop self-energy contributions to the fourth-order Lamb shift of ground-state hydrogenic ions are treated to all orders in Z alpha by using exact Dirac-Coulomb propagators. A rearrangement of the calculation into four ultraviolet finite parts, the M, P, F, and perturbed orbital (PO) terms, is made. Reference-state singularities present in the M and P terms are shown to cancel. The most computationally intensive part of the calculation, the M term, is evaluated for hydrogenlike uranium and bismuth, the F term is evaluated for a range of Z values, but the P term is left for a future calculation. For hydrogenlike uranium, previous calculations of the PO term give -0.971 eV: the contributions from the M and F terms calculated here sum to -0.325 eV. [S1050-2947(98)00303-5].
