abstract

We present the proton and neutron vector form factors in a convenient parametric form that is optimized for momentum transfers $\lesssim$ few GeV$^2$. The form factors are determined from a global fit to electron scattering data and precise charge radius measurements. A new treatment of radiative corrections is applied. This parametric representation of the form factors, uncertainties and correlations provides an efficient means to evaluate many derived observables. We consider two classes of illustrative examples: neutrino-nucleon scattering cross sections at GeV energies for neutrino oscillation experiments and nucleon structure corrections for atomic spectroscopy. The neutrino-nucleon charged current quasielastic (CCQE) cross section differs by 3-5% compared to commonly used form factor models when the vector form factors are constrained by recent high-statistics electron-proton scattering data from the A1 Collaboration. Nucleon structure parameter determinations include: the magnetic and Zemach radii of the proton and neutron, $[r_M^p, r_M^n] = [ 0.739(41)(23), 0.776(53)(28)]$ fm and $[r_Z^p, r_Z^n] = [ 1.0227(94)(51), -0.0445(14)(3)]$ fm; the Friar radius of nucleons, $[(r^p_F)^3, (r^n_F)^3] = [2.246(58)(2), 0.0093(6)(1)]$ fm$^3$; the electric curvatures, $[\langle r^4 \rangle^p_E, \langle r^4 \rangle^n_E ] = [1.08(28)(5), -0.33(24)(3)]$ fm$^4$; and bounds on the magnetic curvatures, $[ \langle r^4 \rangle^p_M, \langle r^4 \rangle^n_M ] = [ -2.0(1.7)(0.8), -2.3(2.1)(1.1)]$ fm$^4$. The first and dominant uncertainty is propagated from the experimental data and radiative corrections, and the second error is due to the fitting procedure.

  1. Radiative corrections in neutral-current (anti)neutrino elastic scattering at $\text{GeV}$ energies I: Nucleon targets

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Radiative corrections to neutral-current (anti)neutrino-nucleon elastic scattering are computed within low-energy EFT and reach a few percent, comparable to the strange-quark effects they must be disentangled from.

  2. Hadronic vacuum polarization in hydrogen-like atoms and ions amid the interplay of recoil and finite-size effects

    physics.atom-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    The hVP contribution to the HFS in muonic hydrogen is 2.153(11) µeV, deviating from previous evaluations by ~10x the anticipated experimental precision, due to corrected recoil and finite-size interplay.

  3. The Nucleon Axial Form Factor from Elementary Target Data

    hep-ex 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The nucleon axial form factor from hydrogen and lattice-QCD data falls more slowly with Q² than deuterium-based fits, indicating deuterium extractions are biased low.

  4. Revisiting Gauge Ambiguities for DUNE Precision

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gauge-restoration and form-factor-scale ambiguities in the plane-wave impulse approximation produce 2-10% shifts in quasielastic cross sections, exceeding DUNE's few-percent target; an off-shell spinor method is proposed.

  5. Implications of exclusive photon leptoproduction measurements for the proton charge-radius puzzle

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    After excluding or cutting low-|t| CLAS 2018 data, BH-dominated EP measurements yield a proton charge radius smaller than the PDG average and consistent with PRad and muonic hydrogen.

  6. Proton Structure from a Soft-Wall Holographic QCD Model: Mass Spectrum, Form Factors, and Mechanical Properties

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    A soft-wall holographic model reproduces proton spectroscopy, form factors, radii, and J/ψ photoproduction, though the gravitational form factor D is an input-dependent ansatz.

  7. Polarization Probes of New Physics in Lepton-Flavor-Violating Hyperon Production from $e^- N \to \tau^- Y$ Scattering

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Polarization asymmetries in e-N to tau-Y scattering could distinguish hyperon form factor models and the chiral nature of new lepton-flavor-violating vector interactions, but predicted rates are at most a few hundred ...
