The Flavor Structure of the Nucleon Sea

Understand

We discuss two topics related to the flavor structure of the nucleon sea.

• The first is on the identification of light-quark intrinsic sea from the comparison between recent data and the intrinsic sea model by Brodsky et al.
• Good agreement between the theory and data allows a separation of the intrinsic from the extrinsic sea components.
• The magnitudes of the up, down, and strange intrinsic seas have been extracted.
