Strange and singlet form factors of the nucleon: Predictions for G0, A4, and HAPPEX II experiments

We investigate the strange and flavor-singlet electric and magnetic form factors of the nucleon within the framework of the SU(3) chiral quark-soliton model. Isospin symmetry is assumed and the symmetry-conserving SU(3) quantization is employed, rotational and strange-quark mass corrections being included. For the experiments G0, A4, and HAPPEX II we predict the quantities G 0 E + βG 0 M and G s E + βG s M. The dependence of the results on the parameters of the model and the treatment of the Yukawa asymptotic behavior of the soliton are investigated
