Deuteron properties from muonic atom spectroscopy

Leading order (α4) finite size corrections in muonic deuterium are evaluated within a few body formalism for the μ−pn system in muonic deuterium and found to be sensitive to the input of the deuteron wave function. We show that this sensitivity, taken along with the precise deuteron charge radius de...
