The quark and gluon structure of the proton has been under intense experimental and theoretical investigation for five decades. Even for the distributions of the well-studied valence quarks, challenges such as the value of the down quark to…
Although the distributions of sea quarks and antiquarks generated by leading-twist QCD evolution through gluon splitting $g \rightarrow \bar q q$ are necessarily CP symmetric, the distributions of nonvalence quarks and antiquarks which are…
The strange and antistrange quark distributions of the nucleon are less constrained by experimental data than the non-strange quark sea. The combination of light quark sea distributions, $\Delta(x)=\dbar(x)+\ubar(x)-s(x)-\sbar(x)$,…
The strange sea quarks distributions of nucleons obtained by two global analyses based on available structure function data of muon and neutrino deep inelastic scatterings are different from the strange sea quark distribution measured by…
A physical model is presented for the non-perturbative parton distributions in the nucleon. This is based on quantum fluctuations of the nucleon into baryon-meson pairs convoluted with Gaussian momentum distributions of partons in hadrons.…
The difference between the strange and antistrange quark distributions, $\delta s(x)=s(x)-\sbar(x)$, and the combination of light quark sea and strange quark sea, $\Delta (x)=\dbar(x)+\ubar(x)-s(x)-\sbar(x)$, are originated from…
Theoretical predictions are given for the strange sea distributions in the nucleon based on the flavor SU(3) chiral quark soliton model, with emphasis upon the asymmetry of quark and antiquark distributions. We find that the quark-antiquark…
The mean charge sum rule for the light sea quarks in the nucleon which holds under the same theoretical footing as the modified Gottfried sum rule shows that a usual parameterization of the strange sea quark distribution underestimate its…
We analyze the non-perturbative structure of the strange sea of the nucleon within a meson cloud picture. In a low $Q^2$ approach in which the nucleon is viewed as a three valon bound state, we evaluate the probability distribution of an…
The Gottfried sum rule violation reported by the New Muon Collaboration(NMC) was interpreted as indication for a flavour asymmetry of the sea quark in the nucleons. We investigate the alternative possibility that isospin symmetry between…
We discuss the latest CCFR determination of the strange sea density of the proton. We comment on the differences with a previous, leading--order, result and point out the relevance of quark mass effects and current non--conservation…
The asymmetries of both light-flavor antiquark $\bar{d}(x)-\bar{u}(x)$ and strange-antistrange $s(x)-\bar{s}(x)$ distributions of the nucleon sea are considered with more details in the effective chiral quark model. We find that the…
Distinctions between quark to $\Lambda$ and $\bar\Lambda$ longitudinal spin transfers in the semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering process were observed by the E665 and COMPASS Collaborations. There are suggestions that the difference…
We review recent experimental and theoretical developments in the study of the sea quark structure of the proton. In the light quark sector, we analyse the recent pp and pD Drell-Yan data from the E866/NuSea experiment at Fermilab, and…
The shapes of light flavor sea quark distributions of the proton are examined directly from two rounds of NNLO global analysis of HERA $e^{\pm}p$ deep inelastic scattering cross section measurements, termed as HERAshape and the ATLAS…
The strange sea of the proton is generally assumed to have quark - antiquark symmetry. However it has been known for some time that non-perturbative processes involving the meson cloud of the proton may break this symmetry. Recently this…
We investigate the flavour and quark-antiquark structure of the polarized nucleon by calculating the parton distribution functions of the nucleon sea using the meson cloud model. We find that the SU(2) flavor symmetry in the light antiquark…
We present a general analysis of the spin transfer for $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ production in deep-inelastic scattering of polarized charged leptons on the nucleon, and find that the pattern of different behaviors of $\Lambda$ and…
We derive the nucleon non-perturbative sea-quark distributions coming from a composite model involving quarks and hadronic degrees of freedom. The model predicts a definite structured quark-antiquark asymmetry in the nucleon sea.
The intrinsic quark-antiquark pairs generated by the minimal energy nonperturbative meson-baryon fluctuations in the nucleon sea provide a consistent framework for understanding a number of empirical anomalies observed in the deep inelastic…
