Nonperturbative Quark Sea Asymmetries
Abstract
The effects of nonperturbatively generated ``quark sea'' have been investigated to determine the flavor structure of the octet baryons. The chiral constituent quark model (CQM), which is known to provide a satisfactory explanation of the proton spin and related issues in the nonperturbative regime, is able to explain the qualitative generation of the requisite amount of quark sea. The importance of quark sea has been studied at different values of the Bjorken scaling variable by including it phenomenologically in the sea quark distribution functions. The results for the quark sea asymmetries like , and Gottfried integral for the octet baryons strengthen the significance of quark sea at lower values of .
