The difference in proton radii measured with $\mu p$ atoms and with $ep$ atoms and scattering remains an unexplained puzzle. The PSI MUSE proposal is to measure $\mu p$ and $e p$ scattering in the same experiment at the same time. The…
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…
In this work, the cross sections of $\phi$ photoproduction are systematically investigated with the two gluon exchange model and the pomeron model. The results obtained show that the theoretical values of the two models agree well with the…
To date the magnetic radius of the proton has been determined only by means of electron-proton scattering, which is not free of controversies. Any existing atomic determinations are irrelevant because they are strongly model-dependent. We…

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 extract the proton charge radius from the elastic form factor (FF) data using a novel theoretical framework combining chiral effective field theory and dispersion analysis. Complex analyticity in the momentum transfer correlates the…
Protons are bound states of the strong interaction governed by Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). Its charge radius ($r_{E}^{p}$) is an important quantity as it characterizes the spatial distribution of the proton's charge, which is carried by…
Systematic differences in the the proton's charge radius, as determined by ordinary atoms and muonic atoms, have caused a resurgence of interest in elastic lepton scattering measurements. The proton's charge radius, defined as the slope of…

It is shown that meson radii can be extracted from diffractive scattering experiments of the type: $m+p\to m + X$, where p stands for the target proton, and m for the incident charged meson $\pi^+$, $\pi^-$, $K^+$, or $K^-$. The basis of…
A generalized formula is provided, to calculate the M$_n$/M$_p$ ratio of the multipole transition matrix elements, in the framework of the so-called phenomenological analysis. It takes into account the possible difference between the…
We present the first determination of the proton mechanical radius. The result was obtained by employing a novel theoretical approach that connects experimental data of deeply virtual Compton scattering with the spin = 2 interaction that is…
In 1963, a proton radius of $0.805(11)~\mathrm{fm}$ was extracted from electron scattering data and this classic value has been used in the standard dipole parameterization of the form factor. In trying to reproduce this classic result, we…
The proton radius puzzle remains a key challenge in modern physics, highlighting both the precision and limitations of current experimental and theoretical approaches. Recent studies, such as those by Xiong et al. and Bezginov et al., have…
Recent results on muonic hydrogen [1] and the ones compiled by CODATA on ordinary hydrogen and $ep$-scattering [2] are $5\sigma$ away from each other. Two reasons justify a further look at this subject: 1) One of the approximations used in…
