Abstract

By using lattice QCD computations we determine the sigma terms and strangeness content of all octet baryons by means of an application of the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. In addition to polynomial and rational expressions for the quark-mass dependence of octet members, we use SU(3) covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory to perform the extrapolation to the physical up and down quark masses. Our Nf = 2 + 1 lattice ensembles include pion masses down to about 190 MeV in large volumes (M pi L greater than or similar to 4), and three values of the lattice spacing. Our main results are the nucleon sigma term sigma(pi N) = 39(4)((+18)(-7)) and the strangeness content y(N) = 0.20(7)((+13)(-17)). Under the assumption of validity of covariant baryon chi PT in our range of masses one finds y(N) = 0.276(77)((+90)(-62)).
