Abstract

We calculate the nucleon strangeness yNy_N in the chiral quark model and the meson cloud model. With the internal relation between the sigma term of π\piNN (σπN\sigma_{\pi N}) and yNy_N, we present the results of σπN\sigma_{\pi N} in these two models. Our calculations show that yNy_N from the chiral quark model is significant larger than that from the meson cloud model, whereas the difference of σπN\sigma_{\pi N} between the two models is relatively small. We also present the results of σKN\sigma_{K N} and σηN\sigma_{\eta N}, which could be determined by σπN\sigma_{\pi N} and yNy_N from their definition in the current algebra, and find that these two physical parameters are quite sensitive to yNy_N. The results indicate the necessity to restrict the parameters of the two models from more precision measurements.
