Dr Sohtaro Kanda (KEK)

Description

The "proton radius puzzle," originating from Lamb shift spectroscopy of muonic hydrogen atoms, has spurred extensive precision physics research involving various theoretical and experimental efforts. This talk will review recent advancements in the field, including ongoing preparations for a spectroscopy experiment on the hyperfine splitting in muonic hydrogen atoms at RIKEN/KEK, and discuss its potential impact on our understanding of proton structure.
