Two-photon exchange contribution to elastic e^--proton scattering: Full dispersive treatment of π N states and comparison with data
read the original abstract
We evaluate the two-photon exchange correction to the elastic electron-proton scattering cross section within a dispersive framework. Besides the elastic contribution, we account for all $\pi N$ intermediate state contributions using the phenomenological MAID fit as an input. We develop a novel method for the analytical continuation of the two-photon exchange amplitudes into the unphysical region and generalize our previous work to the momentum transfer region $ 0.064~\mathrm{GeV}^2 \lesssim Q^2 \lesssim 1~\mathrm{GeV}^2$. We compare our results with recent OLYMPUS, CLAS and VEPP-3 data as well as with empirical fits and estimates in the forward angular region.

Disperon QED
Disperon QED is a new technique that feeds experimental data into higher-order QED loop calculations in Monte Carlo generators via dispersion relations and threshold subtraction.
