Hunting for the strangeness content of the nucleon

High Energy Physics - Lattice 2009-02-09 v2

Abstract

We present results for the strangeness contribution to the nucleon, <N|ss|N>, and to the spin of the nucleon, Delta s. By combining several variance reduction techniques for all-to-all propagators we are able to obtain gains in terms of computer time of factors of 25-30 for the disconnected loop that is needed within the calculation of Delta s, relative to the standard approach of just employing time partitioning/dilution. For <N|ss|n>, the error is dominated by the gauge noise.
