Abstract: | Atomic mass differences are influenced by QED corrections, and a reliable understanding of these corrections is therefore
of importance for the current and next generation of high-precision mass determinations based on Penning traps. We present
a numerical evaluation of the self-energy correction, which is the dominant contribution to the Lamb shift, in the region
of low nuclear charge. Our calculation is nonperturbative in the binding field and has a numerical uncertainty of 0.8Hz in
atomic hydrogen for the ground state and of 1.0Hz for L-shell states (2S1/2, 2P1/2, and 2P3/2).
