Point-particle effective field theory II: relativistic effects and Coulomb/inverse-square competition

Abstract We apply point-particle effective field theory (PPEFT) to compute the leading shifts due to finite-sized source effects in the Coulomb bound energy levels of a relativistic spinless charged particle. This is the analogue for spinless electrons of calculating the contribution of the charge-r...
