Relativistic hydrogen spectrum of the Bopp-Podolsky electrostatic potential — •Altin Shala1 and Volker Perlick2 — 1ZARM, Bremen, Germany — 2Faculty 1 University of Bremen, Bremen, Germany
We investigate the relativistic hydrogen spectrum given by the Dirac equation when the electrostatic potential of the nucleus is described by the potential given by Bopp-Landé-Thomas-Podolsky theory of electrodynamics. Employing numerical and analytical methods, we take advantage of known measurement uncertainties in the hydrogen spectrum in order to place new constraints on the introduced parameter.
