Nucleon tensor form factors induced by isovector and isoscalar currents in QCD

Abstract

Using the most general form of the nucleon interpolating current, we calculate the tensor form factors of the nucleon within light cone QCD sum rules. A comparison of our results on tensor form factors with those of the chiral--soliton model and lattice QCD is given.
