We present a lattice QCD calculation of the strange quark contribution to the nucleon’s magnetic moment and charge radius using 2+1 flavor dynamical fermion. We have performed a model-independent extraction of the strange quark magnetic moment and charge radius and present the most precise and accurate estimates to date. We also find that the total contribution to the nucleon charge radius from the nucleon sea u, d, s-quarks is negative and this hints a shift of the proton charge radius towards the value obtained from the muonic hydrogen Lamb shift experiment.
