Abstract

Within an extended chiral constituent quark formalism, we investigate contributions from all possible five-quark components in the octet baryons to the pion-baryon (σπB\sigma_{\pi B}) and strangeness-baryon (σsB\sigma_{s B}) sigma terms; BN, Λ, Σ, ΞB \equiv N,~\Lambda,~\Sigma,~\Xi. The probabilities of the quark-antiquark components in the ground-state baryon octet wave functions are calculated by taking the baryons to be admixtures of three- and five-quark components, with the relevant transitions handled {\it via} the 3^{3}P0_{0} mechanism. Predictions for σπB\sigma_{\pi B} and σsB\sigma_{s B} obtained by using input parameters taken from the literature are reported. Our results turn out to be, in general, consistent with the findings via lattice QCD and chiral perturbation theory.
