Mesonic Parton Densities Derived From Constituent Quark Model Constraints
Abstract
Using constituent quark model constraints we calculate the gluon and sea content of pions solely in terms of their valence density and the known sea and gluon densities of the nucleon. The resulting small-x predictions for gpi(x,Q2) and qpi(x,Q2) are unique and parameter free, being entirely due to QCD dynamics. Similar ideas are applied for calculating the gluon and sea content of kaons which, for our suggested choice of the kaon's valence densities, turn out to be identical to the ones of the pion.
