Flavor decomposition of the pion-nucleon σ-term

Abstract We re-analyze the flavor decomposition of the pion-nucleon σ-term in the framework of baryon chiral perturbation to fourth order. We employ a covariant and the heavy baryon framework including also the low-lying decuplet. Using only continuum data, we find a small strangeness content of the...
