Understanding the Proton-Radius Puzzle

What was the main finding of the 2010 experiment regarding the proton's size?

• The proton's size cannot be measured accurately.

• The proton is larger than previously thought.

• The proton is smaller than previously thought.

• The proton's size is the same as previously thought.

Which method involves firing electrons at atoms to measure the proton's size?

• Muon scattering

• Electron scattering

• Neutron scattering

• Photon scattering

How does a muon differ from an electron in the context of measuring proton size?

• A muon does not interact with protons.

• A muon is less massive than an electron.

• A muon is more massive than an electron.

• A muon has the same mass as an electron.

What was the result of the 2019 experiment regarding the proton's size?
