Self-consistent value of the electric radius of the proton from the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen

Self-consistent value of the electric radius of the proton from the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen

Recently a high-precision measurement of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen has been performed. An accurate value of the proton charge radius can be extracted from this datum with a high accuracy. To do that a sufficient accuracy should be achieved also on the theoretical side, including an appropriate treatment …
