The latter is evaluated with the variant wall source method, previously applied successfully for π-π scattering lengths and the η’ meson mass. We found the disconnected contribution to be about twice as large as the connected one. The value for the full π-N σ term σ=40-60 MeV is consistent with the experimental estimates. The nucleon matrix element of the strange quark density s ̄s is fairly large in our result.}, pages = {5319--5322}, title = {Pion-nucleon σ term in lattice QCD}, volume = {51}, year = {1995} }
