Abstract
The radiative corrections to the differential elastic electron (positron)—proton scattering cross section is determined in the fourth order in perturbation theory by quantum electrodynamics methods. The contribution from two-photon exchange is determined in the static approximation with subsequent recalculation for the center of mass system and with allowance for recoil of the proton. The electromagnetic structure of the proton is taken into account.
