Description

The nucleon sigma terms are quantities that play a crucial role in phenomenology: among others, they connect the pion-nucleon and the kaon-nucleon amplitudes to the hadron spectrum and they are also relevant for the direct detection of Dark Matter (DM). We present preliminary results for these sigma terms obtained from N_f=2+1 lattice simulations that are performed at five lattice spacings and for pion masses all the way down to its physical value.
