3 Background Proton, the only stable hadron and the lightest baryon, is most amenable to experimental and theoretical studies. Experimental measurements of proton EM form factors started in 1950s (Hofstadter, 1961 Nobel prize) Unpolarized data before 2000, analyzed via Rosenbluth formular (LT method), can be fitted by as quoted in the textbooks and often called as SCALING LAW

44 big surprise!!! Polarization transfer experiment at Jlab: M.K. Jones et al., Phys. Rev. Letts. 84, 1398 (2000). exp. in Hall A, Jlab with E lab = GeV G E falls faster than G M G M /μ p G D is approximately constant

55 Ensuing efforts to verify the discrepancy - experimental New global analysis of the worlds cross section data (Arrington, 2003) still inconsistent with the polarization measurements High-precision Super-Rosenbluth experiment (Qattan et al., 2005) with 4 - 8% precision,

7 Ensuing efforts to understand the discrepancy - theoretical Re-examination of the radiative corrections O ( α 2 ) Maximon and Tjon: ε dependence comes only from proton vertex and TPE corrections; proton vertex corr. < 0.5% Two photon exchange effects ??

8 Blunden, Melnitchouk, & Tjon, 2003 Two-photon exchange calculation : hadronic N Blunden, Melnitchouk, Tjon, PRL 91 (2003) ; with only nucleon in the intermediate states.

9 Two-photon exchange : partonic calculation GPDs Chen, et al., PRL, 93, (2004) TPE can account for at least 50% of the discrepancy in the value of μ p G E /G M extracted from LT and PT methods !!

10 Kondratyuk, Blunden, Melnitchouk, Tjon, (KBMT) PRL, 95 (2005) Δ Contribution to TPE: hadronic Δ(1232) contribution to TPE is not negligible !

24 Summary 1.Three improvements, correct vertex function, realistic form factors, and coupling constants for the γNΔ vertex, have been implemented 2. Each improvement, implemented separately, all produced substantial effect, especially the f.f.s as in the case of TPE/N. However, the combined effects are modest, but non-negligible, in many cases.

25 3. TPE effects from N and Δ within hadronic model can provide a fair account for the unpolarized cross sections and the discrepancy found for the ratio G E /G M obtained from LT and PT analyses 4. Substantial discrepancy remains between predictions of hadronic model with Born plus TPE and other data like R(e+p/e-p) and P L /P L (Born) More experimental and theoretical efforts are called for !!
