Laboratory constraint on the electric charge of the neutron and the neutrino

Savely G. Karshenboim

We revisit constraints on the electric charge of the neutron and neutrino as well as on e_p+e_e. We consider phenomenological constraints based on laboratory study of the electrica…

Decay of the dimuonium into a photon and a neutral pion

Andrzej Czarnecki, Savely G. Karshenboim

We compute the decay rate of dimuonium into a neutral pion and a photon. We find that approximately one in 10^5 ortho-dimuonia decays into this channel. We also determine the contr…

The recoil correction to the proton-finite-size contribution to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen

Savely G. Karshenboim, Evgeny Yu. Korzinin, Vladimir G. Ivanov +1

The Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen was measured some time ago to a high accuracy. The theoretical prediction of this value is very sensitive to the proton-finite-size effects. The p…

On the accuracy of the optical determination of the proton charge radius

Savely G. Karshenboim

Determination of the proton charge radius by different methods has produced an inconsistency. The most precise value (from spectroscopy of muonic hydrogen) strongly disagrees with…

Model-independent determination of the magnetic radius of the proton from spectroscopy of ordinary and muonic hydrogen

Savely G. Karshenboim

To date the magnetic radius of the proton has been determined only by means of electron-proton scattering, which is not free of controversies. Any existing atomic determinations ar…

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

Savely G. Karshenboim

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…
