Abstract

We calculate connected and disconnected contributions to the flavour singlet scalar density amplitude of the nucleon in a full QCD lattice simulation with nf=2n_f=2 dynamical Wilson fermions at β=5.6\beta=5.6 on a 163×3216^3 \times 32 lattice. We find that both contributions are of similar size at the light quark mass. We arrive at the estimate σπN=18(5)\sigma_{\pi N} = 18(5)MeV. Its smallness is directly related to the apparent decrease of uu, dd quark masses when unquenching QCD lattice simulations. The yy parameter can be estimated from a semi-quenched analysis, in which there are no strange quarks in the sea, the result being y=0.59(13)y=0.59(13).}
