We present an updated extraction of the proton electromagnetic form factor ratio, mu_p G_E/G_M, at low Q^2. The form factors are sensitive to the spatial distribution of the proton, and precise measurements can be used to constrain models…

We present a dispersion theoretical analysis of recent date from electron-proton scattering. This allows for a high-precision extraction of the electric and magnetic radius of the proton, $r_E = (0.839\pm 0.002{}^{+0.002}_{-0.003})$~fm and…

As it involves the lightest physical states excited from the vacuum by the vector quark current, near-threshold $\rho^0$ photoproduction is considered a possible way to research the proton radius and the absolute value of the scattering…

In order to remove a little of the mysticism surrounding the issue of strangeness in the nucleon, we present simple, physically transparent estimates of both the strange magnetic moment and charge radius of the proton. Although simple, the…

Models of particle physics based on manifolds of $G_2$ holonomy are in most respects much more complicated than other string-derived models, but as we show here they do have one simplification: threshold corrections to grand unification are…

The weak charge of the proton determines its coupling to the $Z^0$ boson. The distribution of weak charge is found to be dramatically different from the distribution of electric charge. The proton's weak radius $R_W= 1.545\pm 0.017$ fm is…

High resolution spectroscopy of the hydrogen atom takes on particular importance in the new SI, as it allows to accurately determine fundamental constants, such as the Rydberg constant and the proton charge radius. Recently, the second most…

The "proton radius puzzle" remains unsolved since it was established in 2010. This paper summarizes the current state and gives an overview over upcoming experiments.

{\bf{Purpose}:} In this paper, the proton resonance width of the near-threshold resonance is calculated using two different approaches. The values of the proton width are used to calculate the low-energy $S$-factor. \\ {\bf{Method:}} First,…

The proton radius conundrum [R. Pohl et al., Nature vol.466, p.213 (2010) and A. Antognini et al., Science vol.339, p.417 (2013)] highlights the need to revisit any conceivable sources of electron-muon nonuniversality in lepton-proton…

Parity violating electron scattering can measure the neutron density of a heavy nucleus accurately and model independently. This is because the weak charge of the neutron is much larger then that of the proton. The Parity Radius Experiment…

Incorporating a newly improved isospin- and momentum-dependent interaction in the isospin-dependent Boltzmann-Uehling-Uhlenbeck transport model IBUU11, we have investigated relative effects of the density dependence of nuclear symmetry…

Measurements of the ratio of the proton elastic form factors ($\mu_pG_E/G_M$) using Rosenbluth separation and those using polarization-based techniques show a strong discrepancy, which has persisted both in modern experimental results and…
