One possible explanation for the proton form factor discrepancy is a contribution to the elastic electron-proton cross section from hard two-photon exchange (TPE), a typically neglected radiative correction. Hard TPE cannot be calculated in a model-independent way, but it can be determined experimentally by looking for deviations from unity in the ratio of positron-proton to electron-proton cross sections. Three recent experiments have measured this cross section ratio to quantify hard TPE. To interpret the results of these experiments, it is germane to ask: How large of a deviation from unity is necessary to fully resolve the form factor discrepancy? With a minimal set of assumptions and using global fits to unpolarized and polarized elastic scattering data, I estimate the necessary size of the TPE correction in the kinematics of the three recent experiments and compare to their measurements. I find wide variation when using different global fits, implying that the magnitude of the form factor discrepancy is not well-constrained. The recent hard TPE measurements can easily accommodate the hypothesis that TPE underlies the proton form factor discrepancy.
A pair of quantum observables diagonal in the same incoherent basis can be measured jointly, so some coherence is obviously required for measurement incompatibility. Here we first observe that coherence in a single observable is linked to the diagona
We report new precision measurements of the elastic electron-proton scattering cross section for momentum transfer squared (Q$^2$) up to 15.75~gevsq. These data allow for improved extraction of the proton magnetic form factor at high Q$^2$ and nearly
Blockchain is built on a peer-to-peer network that relies on frequent communications among the distributively located nodes. In particular, the consensus mechanisms (CMs), which play a pivotal role in blockchain, are communication resource-demanding
When the linear measurements of an instance of low-rank matrix recovery satisfy a restricted isometry property (RIP)---i.e. they are approximately norm-preserving---the problem is known to contain no spurious local minima, so exact recovery is guaran
We review recent theoretical and experimental progress on the role of two-photon exchange (TPE) in electron-proton scattering at low to moderate momentum transfers. We make a detailed comparison and analysis of the results of competing experiments on
