Status of MUSE Experiment Analysis

The MUon Scattering Experiment (MUSE) is designed to address the proton radius puzzle by simultaneously measuring the proton radius through both e^±p and μ^±p elastic scattering. The experiment takes place at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and uses a mixed e, μ, π beam. The experiment utilizes beams of positive and negative polarities in the PiM1 secondary beam line. The MUSE apparatus incorporates a large-acceptance, non-magnetic detector system, enabling precise measurements of the elastic e^±p and μ^±p scattering cross sections and cross section ratios. MUSE has commissioned its apparatus to the level needed for the measurements and began data collection. This talk will cover the current status and progress of the MUSE analysis. Preliminary blinded results from a partial data set will be discussed. Additionally, we will outline the future plans and necessary steps required to achieve the final physics goal of the experiment.
