Intrinsic heavy-quark states

Brodsky, S. J. ; Peterson, C. LU and Sakai, N. (1981) In Physical Review D 23(11). p.2745-2757
Abstract

The postulate that ordinary hadrons contain intrinsic charm-quark states (such as |uudcc» in the proton) at the 1% level is shown to explain two sets of unexpected experimental results: (1) the copious diffractive production of charmed hadrons at large longitudinal momentum in high-energy proton-nucleon and pion-nucleon collisions, and (2) the anomalously large number of same-sign dimuon events observed in deep-inelastic neutrino reactions. We also predict cross sections for open b and t production for high-energy hadron-hadron collisions.
