QED calculation of the interelectron interaction in two- and three-electron ions

Abstract
Accurate QED evaluations of the one- and two-photon interelectron interaction for the configurations 1s1/22s1/21S0 and 1s1/22s1/23S1 in He-like ions and for the configurations (1s)22s1/2 and (1s)22p1/2 in Li-like ions with nuclear charge numbers 30<~Z<~92 are performed. The three-photon interaction is also partly taken into account. The QED theory of these corrections is provided by the adiabatic S matrix and by the line-profile approach. The Coulomb gauge is employed. The results are compared with available experimental data and with different calculations.
