Parton distributions in nucleons and nuclei

JJ Ethier, ER Nocera - Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle …, 2020 - annualreviews.org
We review the current status of parton distribution function (PDF) determinations for
unpolarized and longitudinally polarized protons and for unpolarized nuclei, which are …

Flavor asymmetry of antiquark distributions in the nucleon

S Kumano - Physics Reports, 1998 - Elsevier
Violation of the Gottfried sum rule was suggested by the New Muon Collaboration in
measuring proton and deuteron F2 structure functions. The finding triggered many …

Measurement of the light antiquark flavor asymmetry in the nucleon sea

EA Hawker, TC Awes, ME Beddo, CN Brown… - Physical Review Letters, 1998 - APS
A precise measurement of the ratio of Drell-Yan yields from an 800 GeV/c proton beam
incident on hydrogen and deuterium targets is reported. Over 140 000 Drell-Yan muon pairs …

and states in a chiral quark model

WL Wang, F Huang, ZY Zhang, BS Zou - Physical Review C—Nuclear Physics, 2011 - APS
The S-wave Σ c D¯ and Λ c D¯ states with isospin I= 1/2 and spin S= 1/2 are dynamically
investigated within the framework of a chiral constituent quark model by solving a resonating …

Origin of difference between u¯ and d¯ partons in the nucleon

KF Liu, SJ Dong - Physical review letters, 1994 - APS
Using the Euclidean path-integral formulation for the hadronic tensor, we show that the large
difference between u and d does not come from the disconnected quark-loop insertion …

Hyperon-nucleon interactions in a chiral SU (3) quark model

ZY Zhang, YW Yu, PN Shen, LR Dai, A Faessler… - Nuclear Physics A, 1997 - Elsevier
Quark-chiral field interaction is studied in terms of the linear realization of the Lagrangian
which is invariant under the SU (3) L× SU (3) R infinitesimal transformation and then is …

The quark-antiquark asymmetry of the nucleon sea

SJ Brodsky, BQ Ma - Physics Letters B, 1996 - Elsevier
Although the distributions of sea quarks and antiquarks generated by leading-twist QCD
evolution through gluon splitting g→ qq are necessarily CP symmetric, the distributions of …

Flavor asymmetry in the light-quark sea of the nucleon

EJ Eichten, I Hinchliffe, C Quigg - Physical Review D, 1992 - APS
Parton distributions with an excess of down quarks over up quarks in the sea can reproduce
data on the structure functions F 2 μ p, F 2 μ n, and x F 3 ν N. A model calculation in chiral …

asymmetry and the origin of the nucleon sea

JC Peng, GT Garvey, TC Awes, ME Beddo, ML Brooks… - Physical Review D, 1998 - APS
Abstract The Drell-Yan cross section ratios, σ (p+ d)/σ (p+ p), measured in Fermilab E866,
have led to the first determination of d (x)/ū (x), d (x)− ū (x), and the integral of d (x)− ū (x) for …

Flavor asymmetry of light quarks in the nucleon sea

GT Garvey, JC Peng - Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics, 2001 - Elsevier
A surprisingly large asymmetry between the up and down sea quark distributions in the
nucleon has been observed in recent deep inelastic scattering and Drell-Yan experiments …
