Abstract
The self-energy screening correction is evaluated in a model in which the effect of the screening electron is represented as a first-order perturbation of the self-energy by an effective potential. The effective potential is the Coulomb potential of the spherically averaged charge density of the screening electron. We evaluate the energy shift due to a 1s/2, 2s/2, or 2p3/2, electron, for nuclear charge Z in the range 5 less then or equal to} Z less then or equal to} 92. A detailed comparison with other calculations is made.Citation
