Antiquark Polarization inside the Proton is Small

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-25 v2

Abstract

Quark contributions to the proton spin as deduced from polarized DIS of leptons off a nucleon target, and the octet baryon magnetic moments, can be used to deduce the antiquark polarizations Δq\Delta_{\overline{q}} inside the proton. In this way, the 1992 analysis by Karl is shown to imply Δq0.\Delta_{\overline{q}}\simeq 0. Such a spin structure fits nicely into the chiral quark interpretation of the proton spin and flavor puzzles.
