How strange is the nucleon?
Martin Mojžiš, Comenius University, Bratislava
• Not at all, as to the strangeness SN = 0
• Not that clear, as to the strangness content

Why does QCD build up the lightest baryon using so much of such a heavy building block?

but why should every s have a buddy d with the same quantum numbers?
big y
• How reliable is the value of y ?
• What approximations were used to get the values of the three sigmas ?
• Is there a way to calculate corrections to the approximate values ?
• What are the corrections ?
• Are they large enough to decrease y substantially ?
• Are they going in the right directions ?

other contributions to the vertex: • one from , others with c2,c3,c4,c5
• all with specific p-dependence
• they do vanish at the CD point ( t = 2M2 )
for t = 2M2 (and = 0) both (t) and (part of) the N-scattering
are controlled by the same term in the Leff

• a choice of a parametrization of the amplitude
• a choice of constraints imposed on the amplitude
• a choice of experimental points taken into account• a choice of a “penalty function” to be minimized
extrapolation from the physical region to unphysical CD point
• many possible choices, at different level of sophistication
• if one is lucky, the result is not very sensitive to a particular choice
• one is not• early determinations: Cheng-Dashen = 110 MeV, Höhler = 4223 MeV
• the reason: one is fishing out an intrinsically small quantity (vanishing for mu=md=0)
• the consequence: great care is needed to extract from data
• see original papers
• fixed-t dispersion relations
• old database (80-ties)• see original papers

no conclusions:
• new analysis of the data is clearly called for
• redoing the KH analysis for the new data is quite a nontrivial task
• work in progress (Sainio, Pirjola)
• Roy equations used recently successfully for -scattering
• Roy-like equations proposed also for N-scattering
• a choice of a parametrization of the amplitude
• a choice of constraints imposed on the amplitude
• a choice of experimental points taken into account• a choice of a “penalty function” to be minimized
• Becher-Leutwyler• well under controll• up-to-date database• not decided yet
