Strangeness in the Meson Cloud Model

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

I review progress in calculating strange quark and antiquark distributions of the nucleon using the meson cloud model. This progress parallels that of the meson cloud model, which is now a useful theoretical basis for understanding symmetry breaking in nucleon parton distribution functions. I examine the breaking of symmetries involving strange quarks and antiquarks, including quark - antiquark symmetry in the sea, SU(3) flavour symmetry and SU(6) spin-flavour symmetry.
