Description
Inspired by the proton radius puzzle, the MUon Scattering Experiment (MUSE) at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) in Villigen, Switzerland, was introduced to provide new information by simultaneously measuring elastic scattering of electrons and muons, as well as positrons and antimuons from a liquid hydrogen target. MUSE aims to provide precise cross sections with extractions of the electric form factor and charge radius for each of the four beam leptons, while addressing the issues of two-photon exchange and lepton universality through charge and species ratios, respectively. An overview of this experiment and the current status and outlook of the analysis will be presented. This material is based upon the work supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under award PHY-2113436. The MUSE experiment is supported by the Department of Energy (DOE), NSF, PSI, and the US-Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF).
