Abstract
The size of atom in the low lying states
is considerably smaller than the radius of atomic screening.
Due to that we can neglect this screening calculating the
contribution of multi-photon exchanges. We obtain the analytic
formula for Coulomb corrections which works with a
very good accuracy for the ground state of
atom.
