Abstract

We compute the strangeness content of the baryon octet and decuplet states based on an analysis of recent lattice simulations of the BMW, PACS, LHPC and HSC groups for the pion-mass dependence of the baryon masses. Our results rely on the relativistic chiral Lagrangian and large-NcN_c sum rule estimates of the counter terms relevant for the baryon masses at N3^3LO. A partial summation is implied by the use of physical baryon and meson masses in the one-loop contributions to the baryon self energies. A simultaneous description of the lattice results of the BMW, LHPC, PACS and HSC groups is achieved. From a global fit we determine the axial coupling constants F0.45F\simeq 0.45 and D0.80D \simeq 0.80 in agreement with their values extracted from semi-leptonic decays of the baryons. Moreover, various flavor symmetric limits of baron octet and decuplet masses as obtained by the QCDSF-UKQCD group are recovered. We predict the pion- and strangeness sigma terms and the pion-mass dependence of the octet and decuplet ground states at different strange quark masses.

Comments

15 pages, 5 tables, 3 figures. There are two significant extensions in the revised manuscript. First, a precise determination of the axial coupling constants F and D from the lattice data on the baryon masses is provided. Second, it is shown that the lattice data of the QCDSF-UKQCD group on the baryon masses in the flavor symmetric limit are recovered. The 3rd version is the published version
