Probing nucleon strangeness in phi electroproduction

الأصل · EN

We investigate ϕ meson electroproduction to probe the hidden strangeness content of the nucleon. We found that even a small amount of the ss admixture in the nucleon wavefunction can lead to a significant change in several double polarization asymmetries in ϕ electroproduction, which can be tested experimentally at current electron facilities.
