The recent conundrum with the proton charge radius inspires reconsideration of the corrections that enter into determinations of the proton size. We study the two-photon proton-structure corrections, with special consideration of the non-pole subtraction term in the dispersion relation, and using fits to modern data to evaluate the energy contributions. We find that individual contributions change more than the total, and present results with error estimates.

    The paper reviews the Cottingham formula, its renormalization issues, and two models for the required subtraction function to estimate the electromagnetic part of the proton-neutron mass splitting.
