{delta} Resonance Contribution to Two-Photon Exchange in Electron-Proton Scattering
Abstract
We calculate the effects on the elastic electron-proton scattering cross section of the two-photon exchange contribution with an intermediate {delta} resonance. The {delta} two-photon exchange contribution is found to be smaller in magnitude than the previously evaluated nucleon contribution, with an opposite sign at backward scattering angles. The sum of the nucleon and {delta} two-photon exchange corrections has an angular dependence compatible with both the polarization-transfer and the Rosenbluth methods of measuring the nucleon electromagnetic form factors.
