We perform a global analysis of all recent experimental data from elastic parity-violating electron scattering at low $Q^2$. The values of the electric and magnetic strange form factors of the nucleon are determined at $Q^2 = 0.1$ GeV/$c^2$…

Within a quasipotential framework a relativistic analysis is presented of the deuteron current. Assuming that the singularities from the nucleon propagators are important, a so-called equal time approximation of the current is constructed.…
The apparent discrepancy between the Rosenbluth and the polarization transfer method for the ratio of the electric to magnetic proton form factors can be explained by a two-photon exchange correction which does not destroy the linearity of…

We evaluate the two-photon exchange contribution to the $e N \to e \Delta(1232) \to e \pi N$ process at large momentum transfer with the aim of a precision study of the ratios of electric quadrupole (E2) and Coulomb quadrupole (C2) to the…
