Title: Connected and disconnected sea partons from the CT18 parametrization of PDFs

Abstract

The separation of the connected and disconnected sea partons, which were uncovered in the Euclidean path-integral formulation of the hadronic tensor, is accommodated with an extended parametrization of the non-perturbative parton distribution functions in the CT18 global analysis. This is achieved with the help of the distinct small x behaviours of these two sea partons and the constraint from the lattice calculation of the ratio of the strange momentum fraction to that of the $$\bar{u}$$ or $$\bar{d}$$ in the disconnected insertion. The whole dataset of CT18 is used in this CT18CS fit. The impact of the recent SeaQuest data on the $$\bar{d}$$(x) – $$\bar{u}$$(x) distribution of CT18CS is also discussed. The separate momentum fractions for the valence, the connected sea and disconnected sea of u and d, the strange and the gluon partons are presented at the input scale μ = 1.3 GeV for the first time. They can be compared term-by-term with systematic error controlled lattice calculations.
