Flavor Dependence of Sea Quark Structure Functions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Quark masses are shown to play an important role in the nucleon sea. Our analysis using massive QCD splitting functions demonstrates the existence of two Feynman-xx sea regimes. For small xx the strange sea is larger while at large xx the non-strange light sea is dominant. This crossover effect has been observed in a phenomenological analysis by the CTEQ Collaboration. We also investigate the charm component in the nucleon.
