Lattice Computation of the Nucleon Scalar Quark Contents at the Physical Point.

چکیده
We present a QCD calculation of the u, d, and s scalar quark contents of nucleons based on 47 lattice ensembles with N_{f}=2+1 dynamical sea quarks, 5 lattice spacings down to 0.054 fm, lattice sizes up to 6 fm, and pion masses down to 120 MeV. Using the Feynman-Hellmann theorem, we obtain f_{ud}^{N}=0.0405(40)(35) and f_{s}^{N}=0.113(45)(40), which translates into σ_{πN}=38(3)(3) MeV, σ_{sN}=105(41)(37) MeV, and y_{N}=0.20(8)(8) for the sigma terms and the related ratio, where the first errors are statistical and the second errors are systematic. Using isospin relations, we also compute the individual up and down quark contents of the proton and neutron (results in the main text).

Dark matter Search and the Scalar Quark Contents of the Nucleon
We present lattice QCD simulation results from the European Twisted Mass Collaboration (ETMC) for the light, strange and charm quark contents of the nucleon. These quantities are important ingredients to estimate the cross-section for the detection of WIMPs as Dark Matter candidates. By employing a particular lattice QCD formulation, i.e. twisted mass fermions, accurate results of the light and...
متن کاملDo quarks really form diquark clusters in the nucleon?
A gauge invariant method for the investigation of scalar diquark clustering in the nucleon ground state is presented. The method focuses on a comparison of quark distributions in the nucleon with those in the baryon resonance. Recent lattice QCD calculations of these quark distribution radii are analyzed in a search for evidence of scalar diquark clustering. The analysis indicates the lattice r...
متن کاملDirect Evaluation of the Quark Content of Nucleons from Lattice QCD at the Physical Point.
We evaluate the light, strange, and charm scalar content of the nucleon using one lattice QCD ensemble generated with two degenerate light quarks with mass fixed to their physical value. We use improved techniques to evaluate the disconnected quark loops to sufficient accuracy to determine the strange and charm nucleon σ terms in addition to the light quark content σ_{πN}. We find σ_{πN}=37.2(2...
متن کاملNucleon Structure from Lattice QCD
We report results on the nucleon structure obtained from the lattice quantum chromodynamics calculation. These include the axial, electromagnetic, πNN , and scalar form factors. The calculation is carried out at β = 6 on a 16 × 24 lattice with 24 quenched gauge configurations. The chiral limit results are extrapolated from several light quark cases. For the disconnected insertion (sea-quark con...
متن کاملEquation of state for nucleonic matter and its quark mass dependence from the nuclear force in lattice QCD.
Quark mass dependence of the equation of state (EOS) for nucleonic matter is investigated, on the basis of the Brueckner-Hartree-Fock method with the nucleon-nucleon interaction extracted from lattice QCD simulations. We observe saturation of nuclear matter at the lightest available quark mass corresponding to the pseudoscalar meson mass ≃469 MeV. Mass-radius relation of the neutron stars is a...
