Hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen

Abstract

The contribution of hadronic vacuum polarization to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen is evaluated with the account of modern experimental data on the cross section of $e^{+}{e}^{-}$ annihilation into hadrons. The numerical value of this contribution to the (2P-2S) shift in muonic hydrogen is equal to 10.77 $\mu eV$.
