Calculation of the d/u ratio at large x in the residual mean field model

ORAL

Abstract

We developed a new model to describe the non-singlet patron distribution functions (PDFs) for valence quarks inside the nucleon. In the model three relativistic, massless valence quarks reside in the strong residual field of the nucleon. The calculations are performed using the light front diagrammatic framework. We calculated the down and up valence PDFs covering a range of 0.1 < x < 1. The parameters of the model were fitted to match the PDF peak height and position at x ≈ 0.2. With these parameters we get dV(x)/uV (x). The result of dV(x)/uV (x)| x→1 ≈ 0.21 is in good agreement with recent data and analyses.  We discuss calculations of other observables.
