Abstract

Radiative-recoil corrections to hyperfine splitting in muonium of order α(Zα)(m/M)2EF and of order (Z2α)(Zα)(m/M)2EF are calculated. An analytic expression [(-6 ln 2-3/4)α(Zα)-17/12(Z2α) (Zα)](m/M)2EF is obtained. Numerically the correction is equal to -0.0351 kHz and is of the same order of magnitude as the planned accuracy of the experiment on measuring the hyperfine splitting which is now running at Los Alamos.
