We show that the model which naturally explains the $\bar u \ne \bar d$ asymmetry in the nucleon and is in quantitative agreement with the Gottfried sum rule data, also predicts that in the proton $\Delta \bar u > 0 > \Delta \bar s > \Delta…
The flavor asymmetry of the nucleon sea is discussed in an unquenched quark model for baryons in which the effects of quark-antiquark pairs (u anti-u, d anti-d and s anti-s) are taken into account in an explicit form. The inclusion of q…
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…
In order to test the NMC finding of flavor asymmetry $\overline u-\overline d$ in the nucleon, existing Drell-Yan data for the tungsten target are often used. However, we have to be careful in comparing nuclear data with the nucleon ones.…
SU(2)-flavor-symmetry breaking in antiquark distributions of the nucleon was suggested by the New Muon Collaboration (NMC) in deep inelastic muon scattering. As an independent test, Drell-Yan data for the tungsten target have been used for…
We discuss the flavor asymmetry of polarized light antiquarks in the nucleon, $\Delta\bar{u}-\Delta\bar{d}$. We present a determination of this quantity based on two global QCD analyses of experimental data, DSSV08 and NNPDFpol1.1, in which…
The current status of theoretical QCD calculations and experimental measurements of the Gottfried sum rule are discussed. The interesting from our point of view opened problems are summarised. Among them is the task of estimating the…
A phenomenological ansatz for the flavor-asymmetry of the light sea distributions of the nucleon, based on the Pauli exclusion principle, is proposed. This ansatz is compatible with the measured flavor-asymmetry of the unpolarized sea…
I review some recent developments in the study of quark flavor distributions in the nucleon, including (i) valence quark distributions and the quark-hadron duality prediction for the x -> 1 d/u ratio (ii) sea quark asymmetries and…
We summarize recent attempts to calculate the flavor asymmetry of the nucleon's sea quark distributions in the large-$N_c$ limit, where the nucleon can be described as a soliton of an effective chiral theory. We discuss the leading-twist…
We present an unquenched quark model for baryons in which the effects of quark-antiquark pairs (light flavors, u, d and s) are taken into account in an explicit form. The method is illustrated with an application to the flavor asymmetry of…
The discovery of a sizeable asymmetry in the $\bar u$ and $\bar d$ distributions in the proton was one of the more consequential experimental findings in hadron physics last century. Although widely believed to be related to the fundamental…
The recent progress on our understanding of the flavor structure of unpolarized and polarized nucleon sea is reviewed. The large flavor asymmetry between the up and down sea quark distributions is now well established. This asymmetry…
The flavor asymmetry of the light quark sea of the nucleon is determined in the kinematic range 0.02<x<0.3 and 1 GeV^2<Q^2<10 GeV^2, for the first time from semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering. The quantity…
We discuss the flavor asymmetry of the nucleon in an unquenched quark model for baryons in which the effects of quark-antiquark pairs (u anti-u, d anti-d and s anti-s) are taken into account in an explicit form. It is shown that the…
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…
Recent deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan experiments have revealed a surprisingly large asymmetry between the up and down sea quark distributions in the nucleon. The current status of the flavor asymmetry of the nucleon sea is…
The recent global analysis of helicity parton distributions, which takes into account available data from inclusive and semi-inclusive polarized deep inelastic scattering, as well as from polarized proton-proton scattering at RHIC, appears…
Recent deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan experiments have revealed a surprisingly large asymmetry between the up and down sea quark distributions in the nucleon. In this article, we review the status of the flavor asymmetry of the…
