Abstract

The quark flavor and spin distributions in octet baryons are calculated both in the SU(6) quark spectator diquark model and in a perturbative QCD (pQCD) based model. It is shown that the Λ\Lambda has the most significant difference in flavor structure at large xx between the two models, though the flavor and spin structure of other baryons can also provide tests of different models. The Drell-Yan process for Σ±\Sigma^{\pm} beams on isoscalar targets can be used to test different predictions concerning the valence quark flavor structure of the Σ±\Sigma^{\pm}.
