Two-photon exchange at lowQ2

Abstract
We studied two-photon exchange for elastic electron-proton scattering at low Q2. Compact approximate formulas for the amplitudes were obtained. Numerical calculations were done for Q20.1GeV2 with several realistic form factor parametrizations, yielding similar results. They indicate that the corrections to the magnetic form factor can visibly affect the cross-section and proton radii. For low-Q2 electron-neutron scattering two-photon exchange corrections were shown to be negligibly small.
