Abstract

We use the meson cloud model of the nucleon to calculate distribution functions for (dˉuˉ)(\bar {d} - \bar{u}) and dˉ/uˉ \bar{d}/\bar{u} in the proton. Including the effect of the omega meson cloud, with a coupling constant gω2/4π8g_\omega^2/4\pi\approx 8, allows a reasonably good description of the data.
