Abstract

A discrepancy in the determination of the deuteron charge radius is solved by taking into account the modification of nuclear-structure effects by the electron vacuum polarization. The result indicates that the muonic measurements of the nuclear charge radii are correct and the discrepancy in the proton charge radius comes exclusively from an underestimated uncertainty in ordinary hydrogen spectroscopy.
