Measuring the Nucleon Strangeness and Related Matrix Elements Using Lattice QCD

We calculate the strange quark content of the nucleon, <N|ss|N> − <0|ss|0> using a novel method with the MILC lattice QCD gauge ensembles. The strangeness of the nucleon is related to the interaction cross section between dark matter and ordinary nuclear matter (e.g. in detectors) in man...
