Statistical Inspired Parton Distributions and the Violation of QPM Sum Rules

A quantum statistical parametrization of parton distributions has been considered. In this framework, the exclusion Pauli principle connects the violation of the Gottfried sum rule with the Ellis and Jaffe one, and implies a defect in the Bjorken sum rule. However, in terms of standard parametrizations of the polarized distributions a good description of the data is obtained once a large gluon polarization is provided. Interestingly, in this description there is no violation of the Bjorken sum rule.

Proton Decay and Neutrino Masses in SO(10)

In the last few years physicists have been looking at $SO(10)$ GUT models with renewed attention because it has been realized that the SU(5) minimal model cannot unify the strong, electromagnetic and weak interactions in a way consistent with the experimental values of $α(M_Z)$, $\si$ and $α_S(M_Z)$. In this paper we derive lower limits on neutrino masses, relevant for cosmology and for the solar-neutrino problem, from necessary consistency conditions on a class of $SO(10)$ models with $\sq$ or $\stt$ intermediate gauge symmetry.
