Two-Photon Exchange Contribution to Proton Form Factors in Time-Like region

Nuclear Theory 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

We estimate two-photon exchange contribution to the process e++ep+pˉe^+ +e^- \to p + \bar{p}. The two-photon exchange corrections to double spin polarization observables and form factors in the time-like region are calculated. The corrections are found to be small in magnitude, but with a strong angular dependence at fixed momentum transfer. These two features are the same as those in the space-like region. In the view of experiment, the double spin polarization observable PzP_z deserves to be considered.
