Scientific paper

Recently the muonic hydrogen lamb shift has been measured with unprecedented accuracy, allowing for a precise determination of the proton radius. This determination is 5 sigma away from the previous CODATA value obtained from (mainly) the hydrogen lamb shift and the electron-proton scattering. Within an effective field theory formalism, I will define the proton radius and briefly review some aspects of the theoretical prediction for the muonic hydrogen lamb shift, studying both the pure QED-like computation and the hadronic effects.
