High-precision calculation of the strange nucleon electromagnetic form factors
Abstract
We report a direct lattice QCD calculation of the strange nucleon electromagnetic form factors G s E and G s M in the kinematic range 0 ≤ Q 2 ≤ 1.2GeV 2. For the first time, both G s E and G s M are shown to be nonzero with high significance. This work uses closer-to-physical lattice parameters than previous calculations, and achieves an unprecented statistical precision by implementing a recently proposed variance reduction technique called hierarchical probing. We perform model-independent fits of the form factor shapes using the z-expansion and determine the strange electric and magnetic radii and magnetic moment. As a result, we compare our results to parity-violating electron-proton scattering data and to other theoretical studies.
