Strange electric form factor of the proton.
By combining the constraints of charge symmetry with new chiral extrapolation techniques and recent low-mass quenched lattice QCD simulations of the individual quark contributions to the electric charge radii of the baryon octet, we obtain an accurate determination of the strange electric charge radius of the proton. While this analysis provides a value for G(E)(s)(Q(2) = 0.1 GeV(2)) in agreement with the best current data, the theoretical error is comparable with that expected from future HAPPEX results from JLab. Together with the earlier determination of G(M)(s), this result considerably constrains the role of hidden flavor in the structure of the nucleon.
