• Abstract summary: We consider the $Delta 2p$ splitting in muonic $90mathrmZr$, $120mathrmSn$ and $208mathrmPb$. We conclude that the resolution to the anomalies is likely to be rooted in refined QED corrections or even some other previously unaccounted-for contributions.

• Abstract: A long-standing problem of fine-structure anomalies in muonic atoms is revisited by considering the $\Delta 2p$ splitting in muonic $^{90}\mathrm{Zr}$, $^{120}\mathrm{Sn}$ and $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$ and the $\Delta 3p$ splitting in muonic $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$. State-of-the-art techniques from both nuclear and atomic physics are brought together in order to perform the most comprehensive to date calculations of nuclear-polarization energy shifts. Barring the more subtle case of muonic $^{208}\mathrm{Pb}$, the results suggest that the dominant calculation uncertainty is much smaller than the persisting discrepancies between theory and experiment. We conclude that the resolution to the anomalies is likely to be rooted in refined QED corrections or even some other previously unaccounted-for contributions.

  Two-body scattering amplitude and energy spectrum of confined ultracold atoms are of fundamental importance for studies of ultracold atom physics. For many systems, one can efficiently calculate these quantities via the zero-range Huang-Yang pseudopotential (HYP) We show a method based on the quantum defect theory, with which $hat a_rm eff$ can be analytically derived for systems with van der Waals inter-atomic interaction.
