Abstract
It is shown that the Lamb shift can be calculated by dispersion theory. In this context no infrared divergence appears. This approach leads to a calculation which is different from the conventional one, of which it can be an independent check (hopefully at least as accurate). Only the leading contributions are discussed here.Keywords
