Two-photon Exchange in Proton Elastic Scattering 


Abstract: 


Recent interest in the proton electromagnetic form factors is partly motivated by the discrepancy found in the determination of the electric-to-magnetic form factor ratio using different techniques. Results from scattering experiments using the Rosenbluth technique indicate that the form factor ratio is constant as a function of $Q^2$ while experiments employing polarization show a clear, roughly linear, decline of the ratio. A possible explanation is the typically unaccounted for contribution of hard two-photon exchange to the scattering process. Theoretical calculations show large variations, many indicating an effect of the right sign and magnitude. Direct verification was sought by experiments at VEPP-3, Jefferson Lab and by the OLYMPUS collaboration at DESY. In the talk, I will discuss the 
OLYMPUS experiment and results and summarize our current understanding of TPE and the proton form factors in the context of the three experiments.

Shrinking the Proton –Laser Spectroscopy for Nuclear Physics and Fundamental Constants 
Abstract: 

For more than a decade, the rms charge radius of the proton was known to be 
0.88fm, with about 1% uncertainty [1]. Two methods, elastic electron scattering 
and precision laser spectroscopy of atomic hydrogen, yielded consistent values. 

In 2010, our result from laser spectroscopy of the exotic "muonic hydrogen" atom 
yielded a 4% smaller value, 0.84 fm, with an uncertainty of less than 0.1% 
[2,3]. In muonic hydrogen, a negative muon orbits a proton with a 200 times 
smaller Bohr orbit than in regular hydrogen, which increases the sensitivity of 
muonic hydrogen to the proton charge radius by 200^3 ~ 10 million! 
Since 2010, the discrepancy increased to more than 7 sigmas [4], making it one 
of the biggest discrepancies in the Standard Model. 

I will discuss the so-called "proton radius puzzle" [5], report on more 
measurements in muonic atoms [6], and the result of a new measurement in regular 
atomic hydrogen.
