Abstract
Lattice QCD calculations with chiral fermions of the πN sigma term σπN and strangeness sigma term σsN including chiral interpolation with continuum and volume corrections are provided in this work, with the excited-state contaminations subtracted properly. We calculate the scalar matrix element for the light/strange quark directly and find σπN=45.9(7.4)(2.8) MeV, with the disconnected insertion part contributing 20(12)(4)%, and σsN=40.2(11.7)(3.5) MeV, which is somewhat smaller than σπN. The ratio of the strange/light scalar matrix elements is y=0.09(3)(1).
