Pion and kaon parton distribution functions in a meson cloud model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

In a model of hadrons in which the hadron wave function at low Q2Q^2 is represented by a hadron-like Fock state expansion, we calculate the π\pi and KK parton distribution functions by comparing to experimental data. We show that the model gives an accurate description of available data and, in addition, gives a clear prediction of the initial flavors to be considered at the low Q2Q^2 scale where perturbative evolution starts
