A recent 15 parts-per-million (ppm) experiment on muonic hydrogen found a major discrepancy with QED and independent nuclear size determinations. Here we find a significant discrepancy in a different type of exotic atom, a medium-Z nucleus…
We explore the possibility that a new interaction between muons and protons is responsible for the discrepancy between the CODATA value of the proton radius and the value deduced from the measurement of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen. We…

Proton charge radius is calculated from the electromagnetic form factor of proton parameterized by the dispersion relation. The calculated charge radius is a little larger than that obtained by the Lamb shift of the $\mu$ mesic atom. As the…
