Analysis of $s\bar{s}$ asymmetry in the proton sea combining the Meson Cloud and Statistical Model

We investigate strangeness in the proton in a hybrid version of the Meson Cloud Model. The convolution functions used to calculate the $s\bar{s}$ distributions consist of splitting functions and parton distributions. The splitting functions represent the non-perturbative fluctuations of the proton into a strange baryon and an anti-strange meson. The parton distributions of the baryons and mesons are calculated in a statistical model which represents perturbative processes of quarks and gluons. We consider six fluctuation states composed of $\Lambda K^{+}$, $\Sigma^{0} K^{+}$, $\Sigma^{+} K^{0}$, $\Lambda K^{*+}$, $\Sigma^{0} K^{*+}$, $\Sigma^{+} K^{*0}$. We then compare the results of these calculations to other theory, to the NuTeV, ATLAS, and HERMES experiments, and to global parton distributions.
