Impact of Charge Symmetry Breaking on Gluon and Sea Quark Distributions in the Pion and Kaon

Abstract

In this exploratory study, I present, for the first time, the implications of the charge symmetry breaking (CSB) that arise from the $u$ and $d$ quark mass differences on gluon and sea quark distribution functions of the pion and kaon in the framework of the Nambu--Jona-Lasino (NJL) model, which is a quark-level chiral effective theory of QCD, with the help of the proper-time regularization scheme to simulate color confinement of QCD. From the analysis, one finds that the charge symmetry (CS) gluon distribution for the pion has a good agreement with the prediction results obtained from the recent lattice QCD simulation and JAM global fit QCD analysis at a higher scale of $Q^2=$ 5 GeV${}^2$. The size of the CSB effects on gluon and sea quark distributions for the pion with the realistic ratios of $m_u/m_d=0.5$ at $Q^2=$ 5 GeV${}^2$ are respectively estimated by 1.3\% and 2.0\% at $x\simeq 1$ in comparison with those for $m_u/m_d=1.0$, while those for the kaon are approximately about 0.3\% and 0.5\% at $x\simeq 1$, respectively. A remarkable result is found that the CSB effects on gluon distribution for the kaon are smaller than that for the pion, which has a similar prediction result as that for the CS case.
