Are there charmed quarks in the nucleon? (Leptoproduction test)

A simple relation between structure functions for deep inelastic leptoproduction off any nuclear target is presented to test for charmed quarks in the nucleon. In the case of SU(3)*SU(3) current symmetry, a similar relation for isoscalar nuclear targets is obtained. Existing CERN neutrino data are n...

Sumario:A simple relation between structure functions for deep inelastic leptoproduction off any nuclear target is presented to test for charmed quarks in the nucleon. In the case of SU(3)*SU(3) current symmetry, a similar relation for isoscalar nuclear targets is obtained. Existing CERN neutrino data are not accurate enough to draw any definite conclusions.
