What do we actually know on the proton radius ?

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

The work is devoted to a consideration of the different determinations of the proton charge radius. It is demonstrated that the results from the elastic electron-proton scattering have to be of a higher uncertainty. A review of the hydrogen Lamb shift measurements and the radius determination from them is also presented.
