Abstract

It is suggested that proton elastic scattering on atomic electrons allows a precise measurement of the proton charge radius. The main advantage is that inverse kinematics allows one to access with a huge cross section very small values of transferred momenta, up to four orders of magnitude smaller than the ones presently achieved.
