Hi Everyone,
We will be holding a special seminar on Monday,
Jan.8, at 11:15am in the auditorium:
Guy Ron (Hebrew U/George Washington U)
"The Proton Radius -- Old Measurements and New Ideas"
The radius of the proton, generally assumed to be
a well measured and understood quantity has
recently come under scrutiny due to highly
precise, yet conflicting, experimental results.
These new results have generated a host of
interpretations, none of which are completely
satisfactory.
I will discuss the existing results, focusing on
the discrepancy between the various extractions. I
will briefly discuss some theoretical attempts at
resolution and focus on new scattering
measurements, both planned and already underway,
that are attempting to resolve the puzzle.
