Description

A new measurement is planned to precisely determine the muonic proton hyperfine splitting energy with laser spectroscopy by using the intense pulsed muon beam at RIKEN-RAL or J-PARC. A tunable intense mid infra-red laser will be used to cause the hyperfine transition. With circularly polarized laser at the resonant energy, we expect to create observable muon spin polarization in the spin-triplet state. The precise energy value will give in turn the proton Zemach radius.
