Where to find data on sea quark distribution of protons?

Dear all!
I am currently searching for experimental data on the sea and valence quark distribution of the proton together with the gluon distribution.

You find plenty of F^p_2(x) structure functions but no consideration on how it splits in terms of sea and valence quarks.

A big thanks for all suggestions!

Hi humanino,
thanks for these data sets, they are a good point to start with! The problem is: I want to compare the sea and valence quark distributions of the proton with theoretical calculations in the 1+1 dimensional Gross-Neveu model. In this model I can calculate these two distributions for baryons but I can't find data on these two distributions for the proton (but I will check your links, seems to be a lot of stuff on them). That's why only F2 or F1 is interesting for me, anything like polarized structure function or other spin-related measures have no counterpart in 1+1 dimensions.

Also, if you know some good comparisons of these distributions with other quark models (like the bag model) I would be glad if you could share these sources! I searched for hours but there is so much data on everything related to this I am getting crazy...

Thanks again!

Since the pdf sets have distribution functions for each type of quark and antiquark, you can get a great deal of physical information out by being a little clever. Consider a proton. Its only valence quarks should be up or down. So, the distributions of all types of antiquarks, as well as those of second and third generation quarks should be entirely the sea quark distribution. Then, since sea quarks appear only in quark antiquark pairs, the up and anti-up sea distributions should be equal (and the same for down and antidown), which means that the valence up quark distribution should be the up distribution minus the anti-up distribution.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
