Abstract

We determine the strangeness and light quark fractions of the nucleon mass by computing the quark line connected and disconnected contributions to the matrix elements m(q)< N vertical bar(q) over barq vertical bar N > in lattice QCD, using the nonperturbatively improved Sheikholeslami-Wohlert Wilson fermionic action. We simulate n(F) = 2 mass degenerate sea quarks with a pion mass of about 285 MeV and a lattice spacing a approximate to 0.073 fm. The renormalization of the matrix elements involves mixing between contributions from different quark flavors. The pion-nucleon sigma term is extrapolated to physical quark masses exploiting the sea quark mass dependence of the nucleon mass. We obtain the renormalized values sigma(pi N) = (38 +/- 12) MeV at the physical point and f(Ts) = sigma(s)/m(N) = 0.012(14)(-3)(+10) for the strangeness contribution at our larger than physical sea quark mass.
