Description
The AMBER collaboration at CERN plans to measure muon-proton scattering at low momentum transfer, allowing for a precision determination of the proton charge radius. A muon beam of 100 GeV will impact on a pressurized hydrogen target, which serves at the same time as detector of the recoiling protons. The high beam energy allows for small systematic corrections, with strongly forward-boosted kinematics and suppressed muon decays. With several new detectors currently being commissioned, the first measurement is planned in 2025.
