Two-Photon exchange
•1-2 interference is of the order of =e2/4=1/137 (in
usual calculations of radiative corrections, one photon is ‘hard’
and one is ‘soft’)
•In the 70’s it was shown [J. Gunion and L. Stodolsky, V.
Franco, F.M. Lev, V.N. Boitsov, L. Kondratyuk and V.B.
Kopeliovich, R. Blankenbecker and J. Gunion] that, at large
momentum transfer, due to the sharp decrease of the FFs, if
the momentum is shared between the two photons, the
2contribution can become very large

Two-Photon exchange
•The 2 amplitude may be mostly imaginary.
•In this case, the 1-2 interference is more important in
time-like region, as the Born amplitude is complex.

•Properties of the TPE amplitudes with respect to the transformation: cos = - cos i.e., -
•Based on these properties one can remove or single out TPE contribution
•Introducing the sum or the difference of the differential cross section at the angles connected by this transformation one has:
Symmetry relations

Nucleon form factor ratio
•The ratio of the FFs moduli is given by the following expression:

Single spin asymmetry•T-odd observable
•At 90° (vanishes for 1exchange) :
•At threshold (vanishes for 1exchange due to GE=GM) :
•TPE contribution:•Small, of the order of •Relative role increases when q2 increases
•Does not vanish, in the general case, for 1 exchange

Symmetry for single spin asymmetry
•This method can be applied to the polarization observables as, for example, the single spin asymmetry. Let us introduce:
•This difference can be written as:
• is the phase difference of the form factors GM and GE

Conclusions•We have derived
– Model independent
– Explicit
formulas for all experimental observables in
in presence of two photon exchange
•Method applied also to the inverse reaction (of special interest in Frascati, Novosibirsk, and IHEP (Bejing))
•Using symmetry properties one can remove or single out TPE contributions
•New data welcome in next future!
