Abstract
The asymmetry of the natural line profile for transitions in hydrogenlike atoms is evaluated within a QED framework. For the Lyman- absorption transition in neutral hydrogen this asymmetry results in an additional energy shift of 2.929 856 Hz. For the transition it amounts to . As a new feature this correction turns out to be process dependent. The quoted numbers refer to the Compton-scattering process.
