The Two-Boson-Exchange Correction to Parity-Violating Elastic Electron-Proton Scattering

Nuclear Theory 2009-01-16 v1

Abstract

We calculate the two-boson-exchange (TBE) corrections to the parity-violating asymmetry of the elastic electron-proton scattering in a simple hadronic model including the nucleon and the Δ(1232)\Delta(1232) intermediate states. We find that Δ\Delta contribution δΔ\delta_\Delta is, in general, comparable with the nucleon contribution δN\delta_N and the current experimental measurements of strange-quark effects in the proton neutral weak current. The total TBE corrections to the current extracted values of GEs+βGMsG^{s}_{E}+\beta G^{s}_{M} in recent experiments are found to lie in the range of 7+7-7\sim +7%.
