Abstract
In recent work, Hill and Paz apply the operator product expansion to forward doubly virtual Compton scattering. The resulting large- form of the amplitude is compatible with the one we obtain by extrapolation of low- results from a chiral effective field theory, providing support for our approach. That paper also presents a result for the two-photon contribution to the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen that has a much larger uncertainty than in previous work. We show that this an overestimate arising from the inclusion of the proton pole term in the subtracted dispersion relation for .
