QED Self-Energy Contribution to Highly-Excited Atomic States

We present numerical values for the self-energy shifts predicted by QED for hydrogenlike ions (nuclear charge number $60l~Zl~110)$ with an electron in an $n=3,$ 4, or 5 level with high angular momentum $(5/2l~jl~9/2).$ Its applications include precise predictions of transition energies and studies of the outer-shell structure of atoms and ions.
