      Direct Evaluation of the Quark Content of Nucleons from Lattice QCD at the Physical Point 

      Abdel-Rehim, A.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Kallidonis, Christos; Koutsou, Giannis; Avilés-Casco, A. V. (2016)
      We evaluate the light, strange, and charm scalar content of the nucleon using one lattice QCD ensemble generated with two degenerate light quarks with mass fixed to their physical value. We use improved techniques to ...

      Disconnected diagrams with twisted-mass fermions 

      Abdel-Rehim, A.; Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Finkenrath, J.; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Kallidonis, Christos; Koutsou, Giannis; Avilés-Casco, A. V.; Volmer, J. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2016)
      The latest results from the Twisted-Mass collaboration on disconnected diagrams at the physical value of the pion mass are presented. In particular, we focus on the sigma terms, the axial charges and the momentum fraction, ...

      The quark contents of the nucleon and their implication for dark matter search 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Constantinou, Martha; Drach, V.; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Koutsou, Giannis; Strelchenko, A.; Vaquero, A. (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2013)
      We present results concerning the light and strange quark contents of the nucleon using Nf = 2+1+1 flavours of maximally twisted mass fermions. The corresponding σ- Terms are casting light on the origin of the nucleon mass ...

      Sigma- Terms and axial charges for hyperons and charmed baryons 

      Alexandrou, Constantia; Hadjiyiannakou, Kyriakos; Jansen, K.; Kallidonis, Christos (Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2013)
      We present results for the s- Terms and axial charges for various hyperons and charmed baryons using Nf = 2+1+1 twisted mass fermions. For the computation of the three-point function we use the fixed current method. For ...
