One-Loop Radiative Corrections to the QED Casimir Energy    [PDF]

Amirhosein Mojavezi, Reza Moazzemi

In this paper, we investigate one-loop radiative corrections to the Casimir energy in the presence of two perfectly conducting parallel plates for QED theory within the renormalized perturbation theory. In fact, there are three contributions for radiative correction to the Casimir energy, up to order $\alpha$. Only the main term, which is two-loop, has been computed by Bordag et. al (1985). Here, we consider corrections due to two remaining terms, i.e., photonic and fermionic one-loop correction resulting from renormalized QED Lagrangian. Our results show that only the fermionic loop has a minor correction.
