Recent analysis of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen found an r.m.s. radius significantly different than the electron scattering result. To understand this puzzle we have analyzed the “LEDEX” data for the (e,e' p) reaction. This experiment includes measurements on several light nuclei, hydrogen, deuterium, lithium, boron, and carbon. To test our ability to measure absolute cross sections, as well as our ability to extract the charge radius, we tested our technique against the extremely well-measured carbon case and found excellent agreement using the Fourier-Bessel parametrization. We then extended the procedure to boron and lithium, which show nice agreement with the latest theoretical calculations. For hydrogen, we see clearly the limits of this technique and therefore, the charge radius is determined from the traditional extrapolation to q<sup>2</sup>=0. We will show that there is a model dependence in extracting the charge radius of hydrogen and its unambiguous determination is very difficult with available electron-scattering measurements. 2015-12-02 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1448878891 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1448878891 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
