Abstract

We present results for the isovector axial, induced pseudoscalar, electric, and magnetic form factors of the nucleon. The calculations were done using 2+1+12+1+1-flavor HISQ ensembles generated by the MILC collaboration with lattice spacings aa \approx 0.12, 0.09, 0.06fm\mathrm{fm} and pion masses MπM_\pi \approx 310, 220, 130MeV\mathrm{MeV}. Excited-states contamination is controlled by using four-state fits to two-point correlators and by comparing two- versus three-states in three-point correlators. The Q2Q^2 behavior is analyzed using the model independent z-expansion and the dipole ansatz. Final results for the charge radii and magnetic moment are obtained using a simultaneous fit in MπM_\pi, lattice spacing aa and finite volume.
