Abstract
Several small, previously uncalculated contributions to the splitting in muonic are calculated, and previously calculated contributions are verified. The improved theoretical result is meV, where is the mean-square charge radius of in . Using the most recent value of the rms charge radius we get meV, in excellent agreement with the experimental result meV.
