News from the "Proton Radius Puzzle" — •Randolf Pohl — Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz

The Proton Radius Puzzle [1] is the 5 sigma discrepancy between the charge radius measured in muonic hydrogen [2] on the one hand, and in regular hydrogen and elastic electron scattering on the other [3]. I will report on several new measurements in muonic and electronic atoms, which have recently started to shed light on the discrepancy. These include measurements in muonic deuterium [4], helium-3 and helium-4, as well as a new measurement in regular hydrogen [5]. In the outlook, I will present ongoing and planned measurements of the CREMA Collaboration targeting the (magnetic) Zemach radius of the proton [6], and the charge radii of other light nuclei.
