The status of the proton radius puzzle (as of the date of the Confer- ence) is reviewed. The most likely potential theoretical and experimental explanations are discussed. Either the electronic hydrogen experiments were not sufficiently…
The proton size has been found, with a $6\,\sigma$ statistical significance, to be larger by 4% when it is measured relatively to the electron than to the muon [Pohl2010,Antognini2013]. We solve this proton radius puzzle by accounting for…
The proton radius puzzle, the discrepancy between the proton radius measured in muonic hydrogen and electronic hydrogen, has yet to be resolved. There are suggestions that beyond the standard model (BSM) physics could resolve both this…
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 the form factor converge for momentum transfers squared below…
In light of the proton radius puzzle, the discrepancy between measurements of the proton charge radius from muonic hydrogen and those from electronic hydrogen and electron-proton scattering measurements, we reexamine the charge radius…
The "proton radius puzzle" is the 7-standard-deviations difference of the charge radius of the proton as determined from the Lamb shift in electronic hydrogen and elastic electron scattering off the proton on the one side and the high…
Determination of the proton charge radius by different methods has produced an inconsistency. The most precise value (from spectroscopy of muonic hydrogen) strongly disagrees with three less accurate values (from spectroscopy of ordinary…
In a series of recent publications, different authors produce a wide range of electron radii when reanalyzing electron proton scattering data. In the light of the proton radius puzzle, this is a most unfortunate situation. However, we find…
The measurement by Pohl et al. [1] of the 2S_1/2^F=1 to 2P_3/2^F=2 transition in muonic hydrogen and the subsequent analysis has led to a conclusion that the rms charge radius of the proton differs from the accepted (CODATA [2]) value by…
Static properties of hadrons such as their radii and other moments of the electric and magnetic distributions can only be extracted using theoretical methods and not directly measured from experiments. As a result, discrepancies between the…
The recent values of the proton charge radius obtained by means of muonic-hydrogen laser spectroscopy are about $4\%$ different from the electron scattering data. It has been suggested that the proton radius is actually measured in…
A possible explanation for the discrepancy between electronic and muonic hydrogen measurements of the proton charge radius are new, lepton-universality violating interactions. Several new couplings and particles have been suggested that…
The proton charge radius inferred from muonic hydrogen spectroscopy is not compatible with the previous value given by CODATA-2010, which, on its turn, essentially relies on measurements of the electron-proton interaction. The proton's new…
To comply with the critique of the Comment [J. Arrington, arXiv:1602.01461], we consider another modification of the proton electric form factor, which resolves the "proton-radius puzzle". The proposed modification satisfies all the…
We determine the root-mean-square proton charge radius, $R_{\rm p}$, from a fit to low-$Q^2$ electron-proton elastic scattering cross section data with the higher moments fixed (within uncertainties) to the values predicted by chiral…
Several recent publications claim that the proton charge {\em rms}-radius resulting from the analysis of electron scattering data restricted to {\em low} momentum transfer agrees with the radius determined from muonic hydrogen, in contrast…
The charge radius of the proton can be determined using two different kinds of experiments: the spectroscopy technique, measuring the hyperfine structure of hydrogen atoms, and the scattering technique, deducing the radius from elastic…
We analyze the recent electron-proton scattering data from Mainz using a dispersive framework that respects the constraints from analyticity and unitarity on the nucleon structure. We also perform a continued fraction analysis of these…
This paper concerns the most intriguing question of modern atomic physics: determination of the proton root-mean-square (rms) charge radius ($r_p$). This problem was announced by the difference in $r_p$ values extracted from the experiments…
We reanalyze electron-proton scattering data in the momentum transfer region $Q^2 < 1\ GeV^2$, which were used to determine proton electric radius, with main focus on the Mainz experiment (Bernauer et al., 2010). We examine dependence of…
