Abstract
The ratio of cross-sections for muon pair production through the Drell-Yan process in p - p and p - d reactions has been measured at y ≈ 0, with 450 GeVc incident protons. The asymmetry ADY = δpp - δpn δpp+δpn amounts to -0.09 ± 0.02 ± 0.025. The ratio u d of the nucleon sea structure functions derived from this measurement amounts to 0.51 ± 0.04 ± 0.05 at x = 0.18 and suggests that isospin symmetry is broken in the light quark sea of the nucleon.
