Abstract
In this note we discuss our observed charge exchange cross-sections of pN interactions at 19 GeV/c in terms of the quark-quark interchange concept. If one\(u\bar u - pair\) and one\(d\bar d - pair\) of sea quarks are assigned to each initial nucleon in pn and pp inelastic reactions and if these quarks are assumed to participate on equal footing with the valence quarks in a quark-quark interchange mechanism between the two initial nucleons, the ratios between some observed charge exchange cross-sections are well reproduced. This indicates that in this model the sea quarks contribute significantly to the particle production in low-pT hadronic processes.
