Abstract
In this article, we calculate the scalar form-factor of the proton in the framework of the light-cone QCD sum rules approach with the three valence quark light-cone distribution amplitudes up to twist-6, and observe the scalar form-factor $\sigma(t=-Q^2)$ at intermediate and large momentum transfers $Q^2> 2GeV^2$ has significant contributions from the end-point (or soft) terms. The numerical values for the $\sigma(t=-Q^2)$ are compatible with the calculations from the chiral quark model and lattice QCD at the region $Q^2>2GeV^2$.
