High-profile articles in Nature, NYTimes, etc.
Puzzle unresolved, possibly New Physics
The µp result is wrong Discussion about theory and proton structure for extracting the proton radius from muonic Lamb shift measurement
The ep (spectroscopy) results are wrong Rydberg constant could be off by 5 sigma Accuracy of individual Lamb shift measurements?
The ep (scattering) results are wrong Fit procedures not good enough Q2 not low enough, structures in the form factors
Proton structure issues in theory Off-shell proton in two-photon exchange leading to enhanced effects differing between µ and e Hadronic effects different for µp and ep: e.g. proton polarizability (effect ∝ ml

Physics beyond Standard Model differentiating µ and e Lepton universality violation, light massive gauge boson Existing constraints on new physics
Possible resolutions to the puzzle 8
New measurements are on their way
Need more precision for extraction from scattering More insights from comparison of ep and µp scattering

Limitation on Q2min ~ 10-3 (GeV/c)2
Limitation to angles > ~5o Electron energies from ~ 180 MeV
Absolute cross sections (typically 2%) Not statistics limited Control of systematics
Target (windows, thickness) Beam flux Acceptance Detection efficiencies
Suggested solutions by PRad experiment at JLab: Non-magnetic-spectrometer method ! No target windows ! Calibrate with other well-known QED processes (Moller)
Designing a new ep-scattering experiment Difficulties of experiments with standard magnetic spectrometers

Experimental goals: reach very low Q2 range (~ 10 times less than the Mainz experiment) reach sub-percent precision in rp extraction
Suggested solutions: Non-magnetic-spectrometer method: use
high resolution high acceptance calorimeter for small scattering angles Θ = 0.70 – 3.80
(Q2 = 2x10-4 – 2x10-2 ) GeV/c2 reduced model dependence in rp extraction Simultaneous detection of ee → ee Moller scattering (control of systematics) Use high density windowless H2 gas flow target (still much thinner than lqH2)
low beam background with high quality CEBAF beam minimize experimental background
Large acceptance to cover large kinematic range in single setting Two beam energies E0 = 1.1 and 2.2 GeV to increase Q2 range Will reach sub-percent precision in rp extraction (~ 0.5% total) Approved by PAC39 (June, 2012) with high “A” scientific rating

HyCal
High resolution, large acceptance HyCal calorimeter (including PbWO4 crystals)
Windowless H2 gas flow target XY – veto counters Vacuum box, one thin window at HyCal only
Proposed experimental setup in Hall B 16

Estimated systematic uncertainty (with radiative corrections) < 0.3% Estimated total error in rp extraction ~ 0.6%
Extraction of rp from MC pseudo-data with and without radiation (single parameter fit)
Radiative corrections 26
Contributions Estimated Error (%) Statistical error 0.2 Acceptance (including Q2
determination) 0.4
Detection efficiency 0.1 Radiative corrections 0.3 Background and PID 0.1 Fitting error 0.2 Total Error 0.6%
Error budget (added quadratically)
Simultaneous detection of two processes: ep → ep ee → ee Moller scattering
Windowless H2 gas target will significantly reduce major systematic errors typical for all previous ep-scattering experiments
High rates will provide small statistical errors (~0.2% for all Q2 bins)
Extraction of proton charge radius was always limited by systematics and fitting uncertainties
Error estimates 27
The “Proton Radius Puzzle” is still with us after more than three years! Theory has so far failed to explain the current ~ 4.5% (~ 8σ) difference in rp
New magnetic-spectrometer-free ep-scattering experiment at JLab (PRad, E12-11-106) with tight control of systematic errors:
reach very low Q2 range for the first time: [2x10-4 – 2x10-2] (GeV/c)2 ep→ep cross sections normalized to Moller scattering windowless hydrogen gas flow target and extended vacuum chamber
to minimize experimental backgrounds and
PRad expected timeline: preparation of experimental setup: 2013-14 experiment ready to run in Hall B at JLab: Fall 2014
New high accuracy experiments are critically needed to address this puzzle: ep-scattering experiments with new independent methods ordinary hydrogen spectroscopy experiments to check lepton universality in SM
