Abstract A measurement of the 2S Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen (µ-p) is being prepared at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI). The goal of the experiment is to measure the energy difference ?E(25 P 3/2-23 S 1/2) by laser spectroscopy (?˜6µm) to a precision of 30 ppm and to deduce the root mean square (rms) proton charge radius with 10-3 relative accuracy, 20 times more precise than presently known. An important...
Abstract The contribution of the root mean square (RMS) proton charge radius to the Lamb shift (2S–2P energy difference) in muonic hydrogen (µp) amounts to 2%. Apart from the uncertainty on this charge radius, theory predicts the Lamb shift with a precision on the ppm level. We are going to measure ?E (2 S1/2(F=1)–2 P3/2(F=2)) in a laser resonance experiment to a precision of 30 ppm (i.e., 10% of the natural l...
