Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows.Detailed analysis of systematic errors in measurement of Lamb-shift in hydrogen by the atomic interferometer method is presented. QED-calculations of the 2p-level decay constant and the energy of the 2s-2p separation are discussed. Experimental results are compared with high-precision theoretical calculation data.
