Neutrino-nucleus coherent elastic scattering provides a theoretically appealing way to measure the neutron part of nuclear form factors. Using an expansion of form factors into moments, we show that neutrinos from stopped pions can probe…
We consider interference effects between p-wave resonance scattering amplitude and background s-wave amplitude in low-energy neutron scattering from a heavy nucleus which goes through the compound nucleus stage. The first effect is in the…
We calculate the strange magnetic moment of the nucleon on a quenched $16^3 \times 24$ lattice at $\beta = 6.0$, and with Wilson fermions at $\kappa$ = 0.148, 0.152, and 0.154. The strange quark contribution from the disconnected insertion…
The mean square radius of the proton charge distribution was studied in the framework of the relativistic quasipotential quark model in assumption of the SU(6)-symmetry. It was shown that the proton charge radius is represented as function…

The weak mixing angle measured in neutrino scattering differs from the world average of other measurements by about 3 sigma. I discuss QCD corrections of perturbative and nonperturbative (parton structure) origin to the underlying neutrino…

The strange quark content of the nucleon, as well as other matrix elements, can be calculated on the lattice by examining correlations between the nucleon propagator and the quark condensate. The largest contribution to statistical error…
Combining the recent experimental indications of density dependence in the pion decay constant $f_\pi^\star$ and the $\omega$ meson mass $m_\omega^\star$ and the discovery of $S^0 (3115)$ and other "strange nuggets" with the vector…
The proton radius puzzle, i.e. the large discrepancy in the extraction of the proton charge radius between regular and muonic hydrogen, challenges our understanding of the structure of the proton. It can also be an indication of a new force…
The strange magnetic moment of the proton is small in the chiral quark model, because of a near cancellation between the quantum fluctuations that involve kaons and $s$-quarks and loops that involve radiative transitions between strange…
Strange quark contributions to the proton magnetic moment are estimated from a consideration of baryon magnetic moment sum rules. The environment sensitivity of quark contributions to baryon moments is emphasized. Pion cloud contributions…
It is shown that the amplitude for the scattering of a heavy quarkonium system from a nucleon near threshold is completely determined by the fraction of angular momentum, as well as linear momentum, carried by gluons in the nucleon. A form…
A revised global fit of electroweak $ep$ and $\nu p$ elastic scattering data has been performed, with the goal of determining the strange quark contribution to the vector and axial-vector form factors of the nucleon in the momentum-transfer…
Strange-quark matter (SQM) is a likely candidate of the ground state of nuclear matter. Along with many other equations of state (EoSs), SQM seemed to be severely constrained by the recent discoveries of the 1.97 $M_\odot$ PSR J1614-2230…
Evidences are updated and strengthened for the two-scales picture of low-energy nucleon structure as a compact `hard' valence quark core surrounded by a `soft' cloud of quark-antiquark pairs (the meson cloud). These considerations are…

The strange quark scalar content plays an important role in both the description of nucleon structure and in the determination of dark matter direct detection cross sections. As a measure of the strange-quark contribution to the nucleon…
