The s-s(bar) asymmetry in nucleon and "NuTeV anomaly"

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2008-11-26 v1

Abstract

The ss-sˉ\bar{s} asymmetry in nucleon sea is an important observable for understanding nucleon structure and strong interaction. There have been many theoretical attempts on this subject and recently on its relation to the "NuTeV anomaly". Calculations with different theoretical frameworks lead to different conclusions. Here assuming a newly proposed penta-quark configuration for the ss-sˉ\bar{s} asymmetry in nucleon, we examine its contribution to the "NuTeV anomaly", with a result of about 102010-20%.
