Recently the muonic hydrogen lamb shift has been measured with unprecedented accuracy, allowing for a precise determination of the proton radius. This determination is 5 sigma away from the previous CODATA value obtained from (mainly) the…
The mass radius is a fundamental property of the proton that so far has not been determined from experiment. Here we show that the mass radius of the proton can be rigorously defined through the formfactor of the trace of the…

The proton charge radius extracted from the recent muonic hydrogen spectroscopy [Antognini et al. 2013; Pohl et al. 2010] differs from the CODATA 2010 recommended value [Mohr et al. 2012] by more than 4% or $4.4 \sigma$. This discrepancy,…
The spatial extent of the proton is a key factor in nuclear physics. Different measurement techniques probe different aspects of the proton, yielding different radii. The mass and charge radii depend on the parton and quark distributions…
We argue that the proton's charge-radius contributes differently to shifts of Hydrogen-like energy levels than naively expected due to an incorrect choice for the boundary condition at the proton's position in standard calculations. In…
Extracting the proton charge radius from electron scattering data requires determining the slope of the charge form factor at $Q^2$ of zero. But as experimental data never reach that limit, numerous methods for making the extraction have…
A statistical analysis of the elastic unpolarized electron proton scattering data shows that, at large momentum transfer, the size and the $\epsilon$ dependence of the radiative corrections, as traditionally calculated and applied, may…
We investigate the feasibility of measuring the proton charge radius through dimuon photoproduction off a proton target. Our findings indicate that the Bethe-Heitler mechanism, which dominates at small momentum transfers, allows for an…
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…
