Constraints on the s−s¯ asymmetry of the proton in chiral effective theory

We compute the s−s¯ asymmetry in the proton in chiral effective theory, using phenomenological constraints based upon existing data. Unlike previous meson cloud model calculations, which accounted for kaon loop contributions with on-shell intermediate states alone, this work includes off-shell terms...
