In 2010 the first extraction of the proton charge radius from muonic hydrogen was found be be five standard deviations away form the regular hydrogen value. Eight years later, this proton radius puzzle is still unresolved. One of the most promising avenues to resolve the puzzle is by a muon-proton scattering experiment called MUSE. The typical momenta of the muons in this experiment are of the order of the muon mass. In this energy regime the muons are relativistic but the protons are non-relativistic. The interaction between them can be described by QED-NRQED effective field theory. In a previous paper we have shown how QED-NRQED reproduces Rosenbluth scattering up to $1/M^2$, where $M$ is the proton mass, and relativistic scattering off a static potential at ${cal O}(Z^2alpha^2)$ and leading power in $M$. In this paper we determine the Wilson coefficients of the four-fermion contact interactions at ${cal O}(Z^2alpha^2)$ and power $1/M^2$. Surprisingly, we find that the coefficient of the spin-independent interaction vanishes, implying that MUSE will be sensitive mostly to the proton charge radius and not spin-independent two-photon exchange effects.
We find the Bogoliubov coefficient from the tunneling boundary condition on a charged particle coupled to a static electric field $E_0 sech^2 (z/L)$ and, using the regularization scheme in Phys. Rev. D 78, 105013 (2008), obtain the exact one-loop eff
Theories of scalars and gravity, with non-minimal interactions, $sim (M_P^2 +F(phi) )R +L(phi)$, have graviton exchange induced contact terms. These terms arise in single particle reducible diagrams with vertices $propto q^2$ that cancel the Feynman
The canonical type-I seesaw model with three heavy Majorana neutrinos is one of the most natural extensions of the standard model (SM) to accommodate tiny Majorana masses of three ordinary neutrinos. At low-energy scales, Majorana neutrino masses and
We continue our study of effective field theory via homotopy transfer of $L_infty$-algebras, and apply it to tree-level non-Wilsonian effective actions of the kind discussed by Sen in which the modes integrated out are comparable in mass to the modes
We compute the one-loop matching between the Standard Model Effective Field Theory and the low-energy effective field theory below the electroweak scale, where the heavy gauge bosons, the Higgs particle, and the top quark are integrated out. The comp
