Description
The charge radii of the isotopes of hydrogen and helium serve as important benchmarks for understanding of nucleon and nuclear structure, and are essential input the QED tests or determinations of fundamental constants via high-precision laser spectroscopy of ordinary atoms.
Our laser spectroscopy of muonic H through He-4 has provided precision measurements of the 4 lightest nuclei. I will highlight some of the results and give an outlook on future experiments.
