The Lamb shift of the 1s state in hydrogen: Two-loop and three-loop contributions

We consider the 1s Lamb shift in hydrogen and helium ions, a quantity, required for an accurate determination of the Rydberg constant and the proton charge radius by means of hydrogen spectroscopy, as well as for precision tests of the bound-state QED. The dominant QED contribution to the uncertaint...
