The effects of "quark sea" in determining the flavor structure of the octet baryons have been investigated in the chiral constituent quark model (\chiCQM). The \chiCQM is able to qualitatively generate the requisite amount of quark sea and…
The effects of nonperturbatively generated ``quark sea'' have been investigated to determine the flavor structure of the octet baryons. The chiral constituent quark model ($\chi$CQM), which is known to provide a satisfactory explanation of…
The flavor asymmetry of the nucleon sea, i.e., the excess of $d\bar{d}$ quark-antiquark pairs over $u\bar{u}$ ones in the proton can be explained by several different models; therefore, it is a challenge to discriminate these models from…
1) We discuss a sum rule of the tensor structure function $b_1(x)$ for spin-one hadrons along with the Gottfried sum rule. Both sum rules are similar in the sense that they are phenomenological ones based on a naive parton model. As the…
In this contribution, we briefly analyze the formalism of the unquenched quark model (UQM) and its application to the calculation of hadron spectra with self-energy corrections, due to the coupling to the meson-meson continuum. In the UQM,…

The sea quark content of the $\Sigma^+$ baryon is investigated using light-cone baryon-meson fluctuation model suggested by Brodsky and Ma. It is found that the $\Sigma^+$ sea is flavour asymmetric ($\dbar > \ubar > \sbar$) and…
