We study the strangeness electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon from the N_f=2+1 clover fermion lattice QCD calculation. The disconnected insertions are evaluated using the Z(4) stochastic method, along with unbiased subtractions from the hopping parameter expansion. In addition to increasing the number of Z(4) noises, we find that increasing the number of nucleon sources for each configuration improves the signal significantly. We obtain G_M^s(0) = -0.017(25)(07), where the first error is statistical, and the second is the uncertainties in Q^2 and chiral extrapolations. This is consistent with experimental values, and has an order of magnitude smaller error. We also study the strangeness second moment of the partion distribution function of the nucleon, <x^2>_{s-bar{s}}.

We present the N_f=2+1 clover fermion lattice QCD calculation of the nucleon strangeness form factors.

We present a direct calculation for the first derivative of the isovector nucleon form factors with respect to the momentum transfer $q^2$ using the lower moments of the nucleon 3-point function in the coordinate space. Our numerical simulations are performed using the $N_f = 2 + 1$ nonperturbatively $O(a)$-improved Wilson quark action and Iwasaki gauge action near the physical point, corresponding to the pion mass $M_pi =138$ MeV, on a (5.5 fm)$^4$ lattice at a single lattice spacing of $a = 0.085$ fm. In the momentum derivative approach, we can directly evaluate the mean square radii for the electric, magnetic, and axial-vector form factors, and also the magnetic moment without the $q^2$ extrapolation to the zero momentum point. These results are compared with the ones determined by the standard method, where the $q^2$ extrapolations of the corresponding form factors are carried out by fitting models. We find that the new results from the momentum derivative method are obtained with a larger statistical error than the standard method, but with a smaller systematic error associated with the data analysis. Within the total error range of the statistical and systematic errors combined, the two results are in good agreement. On the other hand, two variations of the momentum derivative of the induced pseudoscalar form factor at the zero momentum point show some discrepancy. It seems to be caused by a finite volume effect, since a similar trend is not observed on a large volume, but seen on a small volume in our pilot calculations at a heavier pion mass of $M_{pi}= 510$ MeV. Furthermore, we discuss an equivalence between the momentum derivative method and the similar approach with the point splitting vector current.
We present results on the nucleon axial form factors within lattice QCD using two flavors of degenerate twisted mass fermions. Volume effects are examined using simulations at two volumes of spatial length $L=2.1$ fm and $L=2.8$ fm. Cut-off effects are investigated using three different values of the lattice spacings, namely $a=0.089$ fm, $a=0.070$ fm and $a=0.056$ fm. The nucleon axial charge is obtained in the continuum limit and chirally extrapolated to the physical pion mass enabling comparison with experiment.
We evaluate the isovector nucleon electromagnetic form factors in quenched and full QCD on the lattice using Wilson fermions. In the quenched theory we use a lattice of spatial size 3 fm at beta=6.0 enabling us to reach low momentum transfers and a lowest pion mass of about 400 MeV. In the full theory we use a lattice of spatial size 1.9 fm at beta=5.6 and lowest pion mass of about 380 MeV enabling comparison with the results obtained in the quenched theory. We compare our lattice results to the isovector part of the experimentally measured form factors.
We present high statistics results for the isovector nucleon charges and form factors using seven ensembles of 2+1-flavor Wilson-clover fermions. The axial and pseudoscalar form factors obtained on each ensemble satisfy the PCAC relation once the lowest energy $Npi$ excited state is included in the spectral decomposition of the correlation functions used for extracting the ground state matrix elements. Similarly, we find evidence that the $Npipi $ excited state contributes to the correlation functions with the vector current, consistent with the vector meson dominance model. The resulting form factors are consistent with the Kelly parameterization of the experimental electric and magnetic data. Our final estimates for the isovector charges are $g_{A}^{u-d} = 1.31(06)(05)_{sys}$, $g_{S}^{u-d} = 1.06(10)(06)_{sys}$, and $g_{T}^{u-d} = 0.95(05)(02)_{sys}$, where the first error is the overall analysis uncertainty and the second is an additional combined systematic uncertainty. The form factors yield: (i) the axial charge radius squared, ${langle r_A^2 rangle}^{u-d}=0.428(53)(30)_{sys} {rm fm}^2$, (ii) the induced pseudoscalar charge, $g_P^ast=7.9(7)(9)_{sys}$, (iii) the pion-nucleon coupling $g_{pi {rm NN}} = 12.4(1.2)$, (iv) the electric charge radius squared, ${langle r_E^2 rangle}^{u-d} = 0.85(12)(19)_{sys} {rm fm}^2$, (v) the magnetic charge radius squared, ${langle r_M^2 rangle}^{u-d} = 0.71(19)(23)_{rm sys} {rm fm}^2$, and (vi) the magnetic moment $mu^{u-d} = 4.15(22)(10)_{rm sys}$. All our results are consistent with phenomenological/experimental values but with larger errors. Lastly, we present a Pade parameterization of the axial, electric and magnetic form factors over the range $0.04< Q^2 <1$ GeV${}^2$ for phenomenological studies.
