Precision measurements on atoms and ions are a powerful tool for testing bound-state QED theory and the Standard Model [1]. Experiments done in the last decade by the CREMA collaboration on muonic Hydrogen and Helium have given a more accurate understanding of the lightest nuclei charge radius [2,3]. Our present experiment aims at a measurement of ground state Hyperfine Splitting in muonic hydrogen up to a relative accuracy of 1 ppm using pulsed laser spectroscopy. This allows us to determine the Zemach radius, which encodes the magnetic properties of the proton. A unique laser system, multi-pass cavity, and scintillation detection system are necessary for the experiment. We report the current status of our experiment and the recent developments.
