Abstract
The discrepancy between theoretical and experimental X-ray energies in muonic atoms is reviewed. We give brief descriptions of all the known corrections, such as finite size, vacuum polarization and electron screening, and attempt to estimate the theoretical errors. The discrepancy is found to remain at the two standard deviation level in eight transitions, and we offer some speculations on the resolution of the problem.
