Nonperturbative Calculation of Born-Infeld Effects on the Schroedinger Spectrum of the Hydrogen Atom

We present the first nonperturbative calculations of the nonrelativistic hydrogen spectrum as predicted by first-quantized nonlinear Maxwell-Born-Infeld electrodynamics with point charges. Judged against empirical data our results significantly restrict the range of viable values of the new electrom...

Zusammenfassung:	We present the first nonperturbative calculations of the nonrelativistic hydrogen spectrum as predicted by first-quantized nonlinear Maxwell-Born-Infeld electrodynamics with point charges. Judged against empirical data our results significantly restrict the range of viable values of the new electromagnetic constant {beta} introduced by Born. We assess Born's own proposal for the value of {beta}.
