Abstract

We calculate Λ\Lambda and Λˉ\bar{\Lambda} hadron production cross sections in charged lepton semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering off nuclear target (AA, using iron Fe\mathrm{Fe} as an example) and deuteron (DD) target. The results show that the ratio (ΛˉA/ΛA)/(ΛˉD/ΛD)(\bar{\Lambda}^{A}/\Lambda^{A})/(\bar{\Lambda}^{D}/\Lambda^{D}) is sensitive to the sea quark content of the nucleus. We adopt three different models to take the nuclear EMC effect into account. The ratio (ΛˉA/ΛA)/(ΛˉD/ΛD)(\bar{\Lambda}^{A}/\Lambda^{A})/(\bar{\Lambda}^{D}/\Lambda^{D}) is predicted to be different by these different models.
