Abstract

In this work, the two-photon-exchange (TPE) effects in the unpolarized μp\mu p scattering are discussed within the hadronic model where the intermediate states N,ΔN,\Delta and σ\sigma are considered. The contribution from the NN intermediate is close to the results given by Ref. \cite{Tomalak2014} at the small QQ and there is a sizeable difference when Q>0.25Q>0.25GeV (where Q2Q^2 is the four momentum transfer). The contributions from the Δ\Delta and the σ\sigma intermediate states are much smaller than that from the NN intermediate at the small QQ. In the kinematic region with ki[0.01,0.3]k_i\subseteq [0.01,0.3] GeV and Q0.4Q \leq0.4GeV (where kik_i is the three momentum of initial muon at Lab frame), a naive expression for the TPE contributions is given, which can be used directly for other analysis.
