The discrepancy between polarized and unpolarized measurements of the proton's electromagnetic form factors is striking, and suggests that two-photon exchange (TPE) may be playing a larger role in elastic electron-proton scattering than is…
The proton elastic form factor ratio can be measured either via Rosenbluth separation in an experiment with unpolarized beam and target, or via the use of polarization degrees of freedom. However, data produced by these two approaches show…
