The standard definition of the electromagnetic radius of a charged particle (in particular the proton) is ambiguous once electromagnetic corrections are considered. We argue that a natural definition can be given within an effective field…
We show that the value of the proton mass depends on each bound state of muonic or electronic hydrogen atom. The charged particle bound to the proton produces magnetic field inside the proton. This makes a change to the amount of chiral…
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…
We obtain a model independent expression for the muonic hydrogen Lamb shift up to $\mathcal O (m_\mu \alpha^6, m_\mu \alpha^5 \frac{m_\mu^2}{m_\rho^2})$. The hadronic effects are controlled by the chiral theory, which allows for their model…
