Overview of MUSE Experiment*

The MUon proton Scattering Experiment (MUSE) at the PiM1 beam line of the Paul Scherrer Institute is simultaneously measuring the elastic scattering of electrons and muons from a liquid hydrogen target to extract the charge radius of the proton. Both beam polarities will be measured over the course of the experiment. By comparing the four scattering cross sections, the experiment will provide unique muon proton scattering data with a precision sufficient to address the proton radius puzzle, and will directly measure two-photon exchange effects for both muons and electrons. This talk will give a brief overview of the MUSE experiment, including the initial motivation, measurement capability and detector setup. There will also be a brief discussion on the current status of the collaboration and the progress of current beam-time.
