Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Guy Ron (Hebrew University of Jerusalem/George Washington University)

Title:     The Proton Radius -- Old Measurements and New Ideas

Abstract: 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.

Note special time!
