Lattice calculation of the strangeness and electromagnetic nucleon form factors

We report on recent lattice QCD calculations of the strangeness magnetic moment of the nucleon and the nucleon electromagnetic form factors, when we allow the electromagnetic current to connect to quark loops as well as to the valence quarks. Our result for the strangeness magnetic moment is G(M)(8) (0) = -0.36 +/- 0.20. The sea contributions from the u and d quarks are about 80% larger. However, they cancel to a large extent due to their electric charges, resulting in a smaller net sea contribution of -0.097 +/- 0.037 mu(N) to the nucleon magnetic moment. As far as the neutron to proton magnetic moment ratio is concerned, this sea contribution tends to cancel out the cloud-quark effect from the Z-graphs and result in a ratio of -0.68 +/- 0.04 which is close to the SU(6) relation and the experiment. The strangeness Sachs electric mean-square radius [r(s)(2)](E) is found to be small and negative and the total sea contributes substantially to the neutron electric form factor.
