Flavor Decomposition of the Nucleon

TL;DR

This paper reviews recent advances in understanding the distribution of different quark flavors within the nucleon, including valence, sea, and strange quarks, and their implications for nucleon structure.

Contribution

It synthesizes recent developments in flavor decomposition, including predictions and measurements related to valence, sea, and strange quark distributions.

Findings

Valence quark distributions and quark-hadron duality predictions for d/u ratio at high x

Evidence of sea quark asymmetries and their impact on form factors

Insights into the role of strange quarks in the nucleon structure

Abstract

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 electromagnetic form factors (iii) strange quarks in the nucleon.
