We perform a reanalysis of the ep-scattering data and simultaneously fit
the charge and magnetic radii of the proton.

Dataset Nomenclature
We consider data with maximum momentum transfer Q2 < 1.0 GeV2 . We split the available
elastic ep-scattering data into two datasets:
I
“Mainz”: high-statistics dataset, 1422 data points in the full dataset with Q2max < 1.0 GeV2 .
Bernauer et al. (2014)
I
“world”: compilation of datasets from other experiments, 363 data points plus 43
polarization measurements for Q2max < 1.0 GeV2 .
see e.g. Arrington et al. (2003, 2007), Zhan et al. (2011)
Polarization experiments directly measure the form factor ratio (µp GE )/GM .
Aside: χ2 fitting uses the optimize.leastsq in S CI P Y.

To test enlarging the bound, we

The standard procedure for modelling the finite part of the TPE is by “Sticking in Form
Factors” (SIFF). Treat the proton as a propagating Dirac particle and insert Γµ at each of
the vertices, using simple form factor ansätze for F1 , F2 .

I
The A1 analysis groups the Mainz dataset into 18
subsets: 3 spectrometers × 6 beam energies.
I
For each subset, the differences between the fit and
measured cross sections, scaled by the uncertainties,
are fit to a Gaussian.
I
The width of the Gaussian is used as the scaling factor
κ for the statistical uncertainties in the subset.
Concerns:

In the A1 analysis, the χ2

for the fit to the entire dataset with scaled errors is ≈ 1.15.
In our bounded z expansion fit, we find χ2red per subset similar to the A1 Gaussian widths.

Rebinning
Certain systematic uncertainties are experimentally difficult to constrain below 0.1%, such as:
I
time-dependent efficiencies,
I
rate-dependent variations,
I
beam-energy uncertainties,
I
spectrometer angle offsets.
We would expect these uncertainties to be identical for the repeated measurements. Simply
adding a fixed systematic to all points in the dataset would underestimate the systematic error for
these repeated data points. We therefore combine these before adding a fixed systematic to the
statistical uncertainty in quadrature.
We perform the following:
I
Remove one set of points at Ebeam = 315 MeV, θ = 30.01◦ with inconsistent scatter.
I
Identify 407 kinematic settings with multiple data points.
I
“Rebin” these to obtain a dataset of 657 points.

The A1 Approach (Again)
In the Mainz dataset, each data point includes three additional quantities:
I
two cross sections corresponding to variations of the energy cut on bremsstrahlung of the
electron,
I
kinematic-dependent factor, linear in the scattering angle θ , which accounts for efficiency
changes, normalization drifts, variations in spectrometer acceptance, and background
misestimations.
The entire dataset is refit either:
I
using the minimum or maximum cross sections from variations on the energy cut,
dividing or multiplying central values of the cross sections by the linear factor.
In each case, the largest difference of the resulting fit from the central values is taken as the
difference, and
q
I
∆rsyst =
(∆rEcut )2 + (∆rcorr )2 .
We find the bremsstrahlung energy cut has little impact on the radius central values: translates to
an uncertainty in rE of 0.003 fm and in rM of 0.009 fm.

Our Findings (cont.)
I
Norm. grouping (34) yielded uncertainties that were typically 20–30% larger for rE
compared to the spec-Ebeam (18), with smaller increases for the uncertainty on rM .
I
Spec-only grouping yielded somewhat smaller uncertainties for rE compared to the
spec-Ebeam , with larger increases for the uncertainty on rM .
I
Systematic effects could differ for the different spectrometers, and the combined effect
might be enhanced or suppressed by the assumption of identical corrections (always
multiplying or dividing, same sign).
I
For rM , we found some cases with cancellations between spectrometers when the linear
correction was applied to all spectrometers vs. each spectrometer individually.
For final results, take uncertainties using x = θ in each spectrometer-beam energy subset as a
representative correlated systematic, and use a ≈ 0.4%, dividing the above corrections by 4/5.
For the full dataset, we obtain
rE = 0.908(13)(3)(14) fm, rM = 0.766(33)(9)(20) fm.
We have expanded the A1 analysis of the correlated systematics, but have not made any drastic
changes to the framework. A larger systematic shift to reconcile the values would require:
I
a range of corrections larger than 0.4%,
I
an extreme functional form,
I
a “tuned” cancellation between subsets to reduce the overall systematic.

EFT Analysis of Large Logs
A systematic analysis of the radiative corrections using effective field theory is performed by
R. Hill in 1605.02613, identifying the sources of all large logarithms in the limit Q2 m2 ;
e.g., there are implicit conventions of µ2 = M 2 for vertex corrections vs. µ2 = Q2 for
Maximon-Tjon TPE corrections.
Heavy particle: ∆E E ∼ Q ∼ M . Neglected: α2 log2 (M 2 /(∆E)2 ) small.

We presented the most comprehensive analysis of existing ep-scattering data:
I
I
I
I
using form factors constrained by QCD,
performing careful studies of existing radiative correction models,
examining the uncorrelated systematics and rebinning the Mainz high-statistics dataset,
reconsidering systematic uncertainties.
I
The Mainz and world values for rE are consistent, but the simple combination of the Mainz
and world values remains 4σ away from the µH spectroscopic value.
I
We find a 2.7σ difference in the Mainz and world values for rM .
I
Experiments have reached a level of precision that demands a more systematic treatment
of the radiative corrections: in particular, the standard treatment of the resummation of
one-loop large logs is inadequate.
I
Stay tuned for future experiments.
