Title: Determining the size of the proton Authors: N. G. Kelkar, F. Garcia Daza, M. Nowakowski A measurement of the Lamb shift of 49,881.88(76) GHz in muonic hydrogen in conjunction with theoretical estimates of the proton structure effects was recently used to deduce an accurate but rather small...
