Abstract:
We report on a lattice QCD calculation of the πNσ\pi N \sigma term, the scalar form factor, and NsˉsN\langle N|\bar{s}s|N\rangle. The disconnected insertion part of \sg is found to be 1.8±0.11.8 \pm 0.1 times larger than the connected insertion contribution. The q 2q~2 dependence of \sg(q~2) is about the same as GE(q 2)G_E(q~2) of the proton so that \sg(2m_{\pi}~2) - \sg(0) = 6.6 \pm 0.6 MeV. The ratio y= \ss/\ud = 0.36 \pm 0.03. Both results favor a \sg \sim 53 MeV, slightly larger than our direct calculation of \sg = 49.7 \pm 2.6 MeV. We also compute FsF_s and DsD_s and find that the agreement with those from the octect baryon mass splittings crucially depends on the inclusion of the large disconnected insertion. Finally, we give our result for the KNσK N \sigma term.
