Abstract
We analyze the dispersion correction to elastic parity violating electron-proton scattering due to γZ exchange and theoretical uncertainties associated with this correction. The new Standard Model prediction for the weak charge of the proton in the kinematics of the Q-Weak experiment, QWp = (0:0767±0:0008±0:0020γZ), the latter error being dominated by the uncertainty in the isospin structure of the inclusive cross-section. To reduce this uncertainty we propose to analyze the VDM sum rule at JLab energy. Another possibility is to perform the measurement of QWp at a lower energy, and such an experiment is planned in Mainz.
