Abstract:

By using the soft pion theorem in inclusive reactions, the soft pion contribution to the structure function F2 in the nucleon is estimated. It is shown that this contribution produces such a large flavor asymmetry in the light sea quark distributions that it gives about 30– 50 % of the NMC deficit in the Gottfried sum.
