Abstract

The implications of chiral symmetry breaking and SU(3) symmetry breaking have been studied in the chiral constituent quark model (χCQM). The role of hidden strangeness component has been investigated for the scalar matrix elements of the nucleon with an emphasis on the meson–nucleon sigma terms. The χCQM is able to give a qualitative and quantitative description of the "quark sea" generation through chiral symmetry breaking. The significant contribution of the strangeness is consistent with the recent available experimental observations.
