The MUSE Experiment: Addressing the Proton Radius Puzzle Via Elastic Muon Scattering

The proton radius puzzle is well known challenge for modern nuclear physicist by now. Among number of new experimental efforts, including heavier muonic atoms, redoing the atomic hydrogen measurements and redoing the electron scattering measurements at lower momentum transfer. The MUon proton Scattering Experiment (MUSE) at the PSI is a condemnatory experiment to test possible explanations of this puzzle through first precision measurement of proton form factors with simultaneous low momentum muon and electron scattering, for both positive and negative charges. An overview of the MUSE experiment will be given alongside the Straw Tube Tracker (STT) detector which designed and being built by HUJI.
