Abstract

We present two applications of an unquenched quark model for baryons in which the effects of quark-antiquark pairs (, d \( \bar d \) and s \( \bar s \)) are taken into account in an explicit form. It is shown that the inclusion of the quark-antiquark pairs leads to an excess of \( \bar d \) over ū quarks in the proton as well as to a relatively large contribution of orbital angular momentum to the proton spin.
