The contribution from scalar meson (S) exchange to the potential of the muon-proton interaction in muonic hydrogen induced by the scalar meson coupling to the two photon state is calculated. An estimate of transition form factor S → γγ is given on the basis of the quark model and experimental data on the decay widths $${\Gamma _{S\gamma \gamma }}$$. It is shown that scalar meson exchange contribution to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen ∆ELs(2P – 2S) is large and important for a comparison with precise experimental data.

The sigma(ξ)meson exchange contribution to the potential of the muon-proton interactionin muonichydrogen inducedbythe ξ-meson coupling to two photons is estimated. The transition form factor ξ → γγ is deduced from the quark model and experimental data on the decay widths Γσγγ. It is shown that scalar meson exchange contribution to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen, △ELs(2P−2S ),is rather large and relevant for a comparison with coming precise experimental data.

We calculate the meson exchange contribution to the interaction operator of muon and proton, which is determined by the meson coupling with two photon state. For the construction of transition form factor Meson → γγ we use the existing parametrizations based on experimental data including the monopole parametrization over photon four-momenta. For an estimate of the form factor value atzero photon four-momenta squared we use experimental data on the decay width ΓMeson→γγ. It is shown that scalar, pseudoscalar, axial vector and tensor mesons exchanges give significant contribution to the Lamb shift (LS) and hyperfine splitting (HFS) in muonic hydrogen which should be taken into account for a comparison with precise experimental data.

Current status of the proton size puzzle from experimental and theoretical points of view is briefly discussed. The interest to these studies is primarily related to experiments conducted by the CREMA collaboration (Charge Radius Experi- ments with Muonic Atoms) with muonic hydrogen and deuterium by methods of laser spectroscopy. As a result a more accurate value of the proton charge radius was found to be rp = 0:84184(67) fm, which is different from the value recommended by CODATA for 7σ. In the second part we discuss recent calculations of the contribution of light pseudoscalar (PS) and axial-vector (AV) mesons to the interaction operator of a muon and a proton in muonic hydrogen atom, with the coupling of mesons to the muon being via two-photon intermediate state. Numerical estimates of the contributions to the hyperfine structure of the spectrum of the S and P levels are presented. It is shown that such contribution to the hyperfine splitting in muonic hydrogen is rather important for a comparison with precise experimental data.
