Description
An earlier extraction from the HERMES experiment of the polarization-averaged parton distri- bution of strange quarks in the nucleon has been reevaluated using final data on the multiplicities of charged kaons in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering obtained with a kinematically more com- prehensive method of correcting for experimental effects. General features of the distribution are confirmed, but the rise at low x is less pronounced than previously reported.An earlier extraction from the HERMES experiment of the polarization-averaged parton distri- bution of strange quarks in the nucleon has been reevaluated using final data on the multiplicities of charged kaons in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering obtained with a kinematically more com- prehensive method of correcting for experimental effects.
