In this proceeding, a new proposal aiming to improve the precision of the proton Zemach radius will be presented. A circularly polarized laser will be shed on a sample of muonic hydrogen in its ground state. By observing the maximum muon decay asymmetry during scanning laser wave length, the ground-state hyperfine splitting energy can be identified, which is directly related to Zemach radius.citedupays The precision of Zemach radius by this measurement is estimated to be three times better compared to PSI experiment. This result will contribute to the solution of proton size puzzle.
