Abstract
he two-photon exchange contribution to the single spin asymmetries with the spin orientation normal to the reaction plane is discussed for elastic electron-proton scattering in the equivalent photon approximation. In this case, the hadronic part of the two-photon exchange amplitude describes real Compton scattering (RCS). We show that in the case of the beam normal spin asymmetry this approximation selects only the photon helicity flip amplitudes of RCS. At low energies, we make use of unitarity and estimate the contribution of the piN multipoles to the photon helicity flip amplitudes. In the Regge regime, the quasi-RCS (QRCS) approximation allows for a contribution from two-pion exchange, and we provide an estimate of such contributions.
