Abstract

Nuclear recoil corrections of order α6m2/M are calculated for the lowest-lying triplet states of the helium atom. It improves the theoretical prediction for the isotope shift of the 2S32P3 transition energy and influences the determination of the He3He4 nuclear charge radii difference. This calculation is a step forward on the way towards the direct determination of the charge radius of the helium nucleus from spectroscopic measurements.
