An experiment measuring the 2S Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen ([mu]-p) was performed at the Paul Scherrer Institute, Switzerland. It required small and compact detectors for 1.9 keV X-rays (2P-1S transition) with an energy resolution around 25% at 2 keV, a time resolution better than 100 ns, a large solid angle coverage, and insensitivity to a 5 T magnetic field. We chose Large Area Avalanche Photodiodes (LAAPDs...
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...
