Title: Baryon masses and σ terms in SU(3) BChPT × 1/Nc

Journal Article · · Physics Letters B

Baryon masses and nucleon $$\sigma$$ terms are studied with the effective theory that combines the chiral and $$1/N_c$$ expansions for three flavors. In particular the connection between the deviation of the Gell-Mann-Okubo relation and the $$\sigma$$ term associated with the scalar density $$\bar u u+\bar d d-2\bar s s$$ is emphasized. The latter is at lowest order related to a mass combination whose low value has given rise to a $$\sigma$$ term puzzle. It is shown that while the nucleon $$\sigma$$ terms have a well behaved low energy expansion, that mass combination is affected by large higher order corrections non-analytic in quark masses. Lastly, adding to the analysis lattice QCD baryon masses, it is found that $$\sigma_{\pi N}=69(10)$$~MeV and $$\sigma_s$$ has natural magnitude within its relative large uncertainty.
