The deuteron is too small, too The radius of the proton has remained a point of debate ever since the spectroscopy of muonic hydrogen indicated a large discrepancy from the previously accepted value. Pohl et al. add an important clue for solving this so-called proton radius puzzle. They determined the charge radius of the deuteron, a nucleus consisting of a proton and a neutron, from the transition frequencies in muonic deuterium. Mirroring the proton radius puzzle, the radius of the deuteron… Expand

The Rydberg constant and proton size from atomic hydrogen
TLDR
The authors obtained the size of the proton using very accurate spectroscopic measurements of regular hydrogen using an asymmetric fit function, which eliminates line shifts from quantum interference of neighboring atomic resonances. Expand
Ab initio calculation of nuclear-structure corrections in muonic atoms
The measurement of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen and the subsequent emergence of the proton radius puzzle have motivated an experimental campaign devoted to measuring the Lamb shift in other… Expand
The proton radius revisited
TLDR
The value of the proton size they deduce from their spectra agrees with the value from muonic hydrogen spectroscopy and disagrees with most previous measurements in regular hydrogen—and there were many; the Rydberg constant disagrees with the literature value by more than three standard deviations. Expand
The proton size
The proton charge radius has been measured since the 1950s using elastic electron–proton scattering and ordinary hydrogen atomic spectroscopy. In 2010, a highly precise measurement of the proton… Expand
The proton size puzzle: experiment vs theory.
Current status of the proton size puzzle from experimental and theoretical points of view is briefly discussed. The interest to these studies is primarily related to experiments conducted by the… Expand
The Proton Radius Anomaly from the Sheltering of Unruh Radiation
The proton radius has been measured for many years to be 0.88 fm, with experiments using electron-proton scattering and by using atomic spectoscopy to look at the Lamb shift seen by an orbiting… Expand
Possible Beyond the Standard Model Physics Motivated by Muonic Puzzles
Recent measurements of the proton radius using the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen are troublingly discrepant with values extracted from hydrogen spectroscopy and electron-proton scattering… Expand
Measuring the α-particle charge radius with muonic helium-4 ions
TLDR
The measurement of two 2S–2P transitions in the muonic helium-4 ion yields a precise determination of the root-mean-square charge radius of the α particle, providing a benchmark for few-nucleon theories, lattice quantum chromodynamics and electron scattering. Expand

Deuteron properties from muonic atom spectroscopy
Abstract Leading order ( α 4 ) finite size corrections in muonic deuterium are evaluated within a few body formalism for the μ − p n system in muonic deuterium and found to be sensitive to the input… Expand

New results from the recent muonic hydrogen experiments seriously questioned our knowledge of the proton charge radius, rp. The new value, with its unprecedented less than sub-percent precision, is… Expand
Proton Structure from the Measurement of 2S-2P Transition Frequencies of Muonic Hydrogen
TLDR
Accurate knowledge of the charge and Zemach radii of the proton is essential, not only for understanding its structure but also as input for tests of bound-state quantum electrodynamics and its predictions for the energy levels of hydrogen. Expand

The size of the proton
TLDR
The root-mean-square charge radius, rp, has been determined with an accuracy of 2 per cent by electron–proton scattering experiments, and the present most accurate value of rp (with an uncertainty of 1 per cent) is given by the CODATA compilation of physical constants. Expand

TLDR
The muonic hydrogen experiment measuring the 2P-2S transition energy is significantly discrepant with theoretical predictions based on quantum electrodynamics, and the only correction which might be questioned in μD is that due to the deuteron polarizability. Expand
