Abstract:
We present lattice-QCD results for the electromagnetic form factors of the proton and neutron including both quark-connected and -disconnected contributions. The parametrization of the Q^{2} dependence of the form factors is combined with the extrapolation to the physical point. In this way, we determine the electric and magnetic radii and the magnetic moments of the proton and neutron. For the proton, we obtain at the physical pion mass and in the continuum and infinite-volume limit sqrt[⟨r_{E}^{2}⟩^{p}]=0.820(14) fm, sqrt[⟨r_{M}^{2}⟩^{p}]=0.8111(89) fm, and μ_{M}^{p}=2.739(66), where the errors include all systematics.
