Determination of two-photon exchange amplitudes from elastic electron-proton scattering data

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-05-20 v2

Abstract

Using the available cross section and polarization data for elastic electron-proton scattering, we provide an extraction of the two-photon exchange amplitudes at a common value of four-momentum transfer, around Q^2 = 2.5 GeV^2. This analysis also predicts the e^+ p / e^- p elastic scattering cross section ratio, which will be measured by forthcoming experiments.
