摘要
Flavor asymmetries for the valence and sea quarks of the Sigma(+/-) can be obtained from Drell-Yan experiments using charged hyperon beams on proton and deuteron targets. A large, measurable difference in sea quark asymmetries is predicted between SU(3) and pseudoscalar meson models. The latter predict that in Sigma(+), (u) over bar/(d) over bar less than or equal to 1/2, whereas the former predict (u) over bar/(d) over bar approximate to 4/3. Estimates of valence quark asymmetries based on quark models also show large deviations from SU(3) predictions, which should be measurable.
