The proton radius puzzle

CE Carlson - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2015 - Elsevier
The proton size, specifically its charge radius, was thought known to about 1% accuracy.
Now a new method probing the proton with muons instead of electrons finds a radius about …

The Rydberg constant and proton size from atomic hydrogen

A Beyer, L Maisenbacher, A Matveev, R Pohl… - Science, 2017 - science.org
At the core of the “proton radius puzzle” is a four–standard deviation discrepancy between
the proton root-mean-square charge radii (rp) determined from the regular hydrogen (H) and …

Lorentz and tests with hydrogen, antihydrogen, and related systems

VA Kostelecký, AJ Vargas - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
The potential of precision spectroscopy as a tool in systematic searches for effects of Lorentz
and CPT violation is investigated. Systems considered include hydrogen, antihydrogen …

Extraction of the proton radius from electron-proton scattering data

G Lee, JR Arrington, RJ Hill - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We perform a new analysis of electron-proton scattering data to determine the proton electric
and magnetic radii, enforcing model-independent constraints from form factor analyticity. A …

Theoretical constraints and systematic effects in the determination of the proton form factors

IT Lorenz, UG Meißner, HW Hammer, YB Dong - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We calculate the two-photon exchange corrections to electron-proton scattering with
nucleon and Δ intermediate states. The results show a dependence on the elastic nucleon …

Laser spectroscopy of muonic hydrogen and the puzzling proton

R Pohl - Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 2016 - journals.jps.jp
Laser spectroscopy of muonic hydrogen atoms, μp, has revealed a proton root-mean-square
(rms) charge radius r E that is an order of magnitude more accurate than the CODATA world …

Deuteron charge radius and Rydberg constant from spectroscopy data in atomic deuterium

R Pohl, F Nez, T Udem, A Antognini, A Beyer… - Metrologia, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We give a pedagogical description of the method to extract the charge radii and Rydberg
constant from laser spectroscopy in regular hydrogen (H) and deuterium (D) atoms, that is …

Consistency of electron scattering data with a small proton radius

K Griffioen, C Carlson, S Maddox - Physical Review C, 2016 - APS
We determine the charge radius of the proton by analyzing the published low momentum
transfer electron-proton scattering data from Mainz. We note that polynomial expansions of …

[HTML][HTML] Reduction of the proton radius discrepancy by 3σ

IT Lorenz, UG Meißner - Physics Letters B, 2014 - Elsevier
We show that in previous analyses of electron–proton scattering, the uncertainties in the
statistical procedure to extract the proton charge radius are underestimated. Using a fit …

Quantum interference in two-photon frequency-comb spectroscopy

DC Yost, A Matveev, E Peters, A Beyer, TW Hänsch… - Physical Review A, 2014 - APS
Quantum interference arising from spontaneous emission, or cross-dam**, is an important
yet frequently overlooked systematic in precision spectroscopy experiments which aim to …
