Differential cross section predictions for PRad-II from dispersion theory

Abstract

We predict the differential cross sections for e−p and e+p elastic scattering in the PRad-II energy region. The prediction is based on form factors obtained in our previous high-precision analysis of space- and time-like data from dispersion theory and different sets of two-photon exchange corrections. We investigate the sensitivity of the cross sections to two-photon exchange effects and find that the differences between model calculations and phenomenological extractions of two-photon corrections can not be resolved if the uncertainty in the form factors is taken into account.
