Nonperturbative contribution to the strange-antistrange asymmetry of the nucleon sea

Abstract

We give predictions for the nonperturbative (intrinsic) contribution to the $s(x)-\bar{s}(x)$ asymmetry of the nucleon sea. For this purpose we use different light-front wave functions inspired by the AdS/QCD formalism, together with a model of the nucleon in terms of meson-baryon fluctuations. The holographic wave functions for an arbitrary number of constituents, recently derived by us, give results quite close to known parametrizations that appear in the literature.
