Nucleon mass and sigma term from lattice QCD with two light fermion flavors

Abstract: We analyze N f = 2 nucleon mass data with respect to their dependence on the pion mass down to m π = 157 MeV and compare it with predictions from covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory (BChPT). A novel feature of our approach is that we fit the nucleon mass data simultaneously with the directly obtained pion-nucleon σ-term. Our lattice data below m π = 435 MeV is well described by O(p 4 ) BChPT and we find σ = 37(8)(6) MeV for the σ-term at the physical point. Using the nucleon mass to set the scale we ob… Show more

“…In Fig. 3 we test our FV correction against lQCD data with approximately the same pion mass but different L. We found four points from the QCDSF Collaboration [49], four points from the NPLQCD Collaboration [62] and two points from the ETM Collaboration [84] at pion masses approximately of 265, 300, 390 and 440 MeV, respectively. Reasonable values of the LECs M 0 = 890 MeV and c 1 = c 1∆ = −0.9 GeV −1 have been chosen for this exercise.…”

“…The band defines the uncertainty range adopted (see the text) while the blue line is the preferred result. [49] (triangles), [62] (red diamonds) and [84] (squares) with approximately the same pion masses are also displayed. We normalize each curve to the point with the largest volume and shifted them by multiples of 50 MeV to avoid overlaps.…”
