Pion and kaon parton distribution functions in a meson cloud model

In a model of hadrons in which the hadron wave function at low $Q^2$ is represented by a hadron-like Fock state expansion, we calculate the $\pi$ and $K$ parton distribution functions by comparing to experimental data. We show that the model gives an accurate description of available data and, in addition, gives a clear prediction of the initial flavors to be considered at the low $Q^2$ scale where perturbative evolution starts
