Proton charge radius from a dispersive analysis of the latest space-like $e$-$p$ scattering data

We present a dispersion theoretical analysis of recent date from electron-proton scattering. This allows for a high-precision extraction of the electric and magnetic radius of the proton, $r_E = (0.839\pm 0.002{}^{+0.002}_{-0.003})$~fm and $r_M = (0.846\pm 0.001{}^{+0.001}_{-0.005})$~fm, where the first error refers to the statistical type estimated from the bootstrap method, and the second one refers to the systematic uncertainty related to the underlying spectral functions.
