Abstract

We solve the Bethe-Salpeter equation for hydrogenic bound states by choosing an appropriate interaction kernel Kc. We want to use our solution to calculate up to a higher order the hydrogen Lamb-shift, and as a first application we present up to order (α/π)(Zα)7 the contribution of the lowest order self-energy graph, calculated exactly. The basic formalism is a natural extension to the hydrogenic bound states of the one previously presented by R. Barbieri and E. Remiddi and used in the case of positronium.
