Description

The CREMA collaboration at the Paul Scherrer Institute is aiming at the measurement of the ground-state hyperfine splitting in muonic hydrogen (μp) with an accuracy of 1 ppm to extract the two-photon- exchange contribution with a relative accuracy of 10−4. From this both the Zemach radius and the inelastic contribution can be obtained.

The principle of the μp HFS experiment is presented together with the progress of the development needed to perform this experiment.
