Polarized antiquark flavor asymmetry in Drell – Yan pair production
We investigate the role of the flavor asymmetry of the nucleon's polarized antiquark distributions in Drell–Yan lepton pair production in polarized nucleon–nucleon collisions at HERA (fixed–target) and RHIC energies. It is shown that the large polarized antiquark flavor asymmetry predicted by model calculations in the large–N c limit (chiral quark–soliton model) has a dramatic effect on the dou...

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 quark-parton structure of nucleons: the flavor asymmetry of the nucleon sea implied by the violation of Gottfried sum rule, the proton spin problem implied ...
متن کاملA model prediction for polarized antiquark flavor asymmetry
Polarized flavor asymmetry ∆¯ u/∆ ¯ d is investigated in a meson-cloud model. A polarized nucleon splits into a ρ meson and a baryon, then the polarized ρ meson interacts with the virtual photon. Because of the difference between the longitudinally polarized distributions ∆¯ u and ∆ ¯ d in ρ, the polarized flavor asymmetry is produced in the nucleon. In addition, we show that the g 2 part of ρ ...

Flavor asymmetry is investigated in polarized light-antiquark distributions by a meson-cloud model. In particular, ρ meson contributions to ∆ū−∆d̄ are calculated. We point out that the g2 part of ρ contributes to the structure function g1 of the proton in addition to the ordinary longitudinally polarized distributions in ρ. This kind of contribution becomes important at medium x (> 0.2) with sma...
متن کاملProton-deuteron asymmetry in Drell-Yan processes and polarized light-antiquark distributions
We discuss the relation between the ratio of the proton-deuteron (pd) Drell-Yan cross section to the proton-proton (pp) one ∆(T )σpd/2∆(T )σpp and the flavor asymmetry in polarized light-antiquark distributions. Using a recent formalism of the polarized pd Drell-Yan process, we show that the difference between the pp and pd cross sections is valuable for finding not only the flavor asymmetry in...
