Abstract

We investigate parity-violating electroweak asymmetries in the elastic scattering of polarized electrons off protons within the framework of the chiral quark-soliton model ($\ensuremath{\chi}\mathrm{QSM}$). We use as input the former results of the electromagnetic and strange form factors and newly calculated SU(3) axial-vector form factors, all evaluated with the same set of four parameters adjusted several years ago to general mesonic and baryonic properties. Based on this scheme, which yields positive electric and magnetic strange form factors with ${\ensuremath{\mu}}_{s}=(0.08--0.13){\ensuremath{\mu}}_{N}$, we determine the parity-violating asymmetries of elastic polarized electron-proton scattering. The results are in a good agreement with the data of the A4, HAPPEX, and SAMPLE experiments and reproduce the full ${Q}^{2}$ range of the G0 data. We also predict the parity-violating asymmetries for the backward G0 experiment.
