Assume approximate charge symmetry of nucleon parton distributions, the interchange of up quarks and down quarks under the isospin rotation carrying the proton into the neutron:Corrections from the up quark-down quark mass difference and the electromagnetic interaction are neglected. With the proton-only shorthand in d,If charm is active, add the same to each; heavier flavors are treated similarly. These formulae use the same and factorization convention for all parton distribution functions.
