Abstract
We suggest that a sensible and consistent way of treating the associated production of charm and strangeness in or collisions is to consider the basic subprocess to be or , respectively, where is the virtual weak gauge boson and denotes a colored gluon. An explicit calculation illustrates how the concept of the sea in the parton model can turn out to be process-dependent in the sense that relative amounts of charm and strangeness in the sea of a nucleon as inferred from neutrino data need not be the same as those inferred from electroproduction data.
