Description

We present preliminary results for strange form factors of the nucleon computed on the CLS ensembles with $N_f=2+1$ flavours of O($a$)-improved Wilson fermions. Our calculations are performed at two values of the lattice spacing ($a \in \{0.064, 0.086\} \,\mathrm{fm}$) at a pion mass of $280 \,\mathrm{MeV}$. The determination of strange form factors proceeds by computing quark-disconnected diagrams, for which we employ hierarchical probing in four dimensions, in order to deal with this most challenging part of the calculation. Furthermore, we investigate several source-sink separations to check on excited-state contamination.
