Abstract

A specific combination of s-state Lamb shift ΔE_L(1s_1/2) - n³ ΔE_L(ns_1/2) is considered. Its value is calculated both in the hydrogen and deuterium atoms for n up to 12. The result inludes all correction which can contribute 1 kHz and particulary: one-loop self energy and vacuum polarization, two-loop contribution. Nuclear finite-size corrections for the isotopic difference of the combination are also evaluated.
