The charge radius of the proton is typically determined from electron-proton scattering by extracting the proton's electric form factor and then making use of the derivative of that form factor at zero four-momentum transfer. Unfortunately,…

It is suggested that proton elastic scattering on atomic electrons allows a precise measurement of the proton charge radius. Very small values of transferred momenta (up to four order of magnitude smaller than the ones presently available)…
We show that in previous analyses of electron-proton scattering, the uncertainties in the statistical procedure to extract the proton charge radius are underestimated. Using a fit function based on a conformal mapping, we can describe the…
