The electromagnetic form factors of the proton and the neutron are computed within lattice QCD using simulations with quarks masses fixed to their physical values. Both connected and disconnected contributions are computed. We analyze two new ensembles of $N_f = 2$ and $N_f = 2 + 1 + 1$ twisted mass clover-improved fermions and determine the proton and neutron form factors, the electric and magnetic radii, and the magnetic moments. We use several values of the sink-source time separation in the range of 1.0 fm to 1.6 fm to ensure ground state identification. Disconnected contributions are calculated to an unprecedented accuracy at the physical point. Although they constitute a small correction, they are non-negligible and contribute up to 15% for the case of the neutron electric charge radius.

  1. Elastic and resonance structures of the nucleon from hadronic tensor in lattice QCD: implications for neutrino-nucleon scattering and hadron physics

    hep-lat 2023-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Lattice QCD computation of hadronic tensor yields consistent nucleon Sachs electric form factor and extracts transition form factors to the Roper resonance region for inclusive cross sections.

  2. The nucleon unpolarized generalized form factors and Mellin moments up to fourth order

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    First lattice-QCD extraction of nucleon unpolarized Mellin moments through fourth order at physical pion mass, with GFF Q^{2} dependence and a reconstructed isovector valence PDF.

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

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    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.

  4. Electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon from the instanton vacuum

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Nucleon EM form factors computed in instanton vacuum model with parameters fixed by saddle-point equation yield proton charge radius 0.841 fm matching muonic hydrogen and good agreement on Q2 dependence of ratios.

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

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0

    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.
