Isoscalar electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon in $N_\mathrm{f} = 2 + 1$ lattice QCD

/ Abstract
We present results for the isoscalar electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon computed on the Coordinated Lattice Simulations (CLS) ensembles with 𝑁 f = 2 + 1 flavors of O( 𝑎 ) -improved Wilson fermions and an O( 𝑎 ) -improved conserved vector current. In order to estimate the excited-state contamination, we employ several source-sink separations and apply the summation method. For the computation of the quark-disconnected diagrams, a stochastic estimation based on the one-end trick is performed, in combination with a frequency-splitting technique and the hopping parameter expansion. By these means, we obtain a clear signal for the form factors including the quark-disconnected contributions, which have a statistically significant effect on our results.
