abstract
We present an analysis to extract kaon parton distribution functions (PDFs) for the first time using meson-induced Drell-Yan and quarkonium production data. Starting from the statistical model first developed for determining the partonic structure of spin-1/2 nucleon and later applied to the spin-0 pion, we have extended this approach to perform a global fit to existing kaon-induced Drell-Yan and $J/\psi$ production data. These data are well described by the statistical model, allowing a first extraction of the kaon PDFs. We find that both the Drell-Yan and the $J/\psi$ data favor a harder valence distribution for strange quark than for up quark in kaon. The kaon gluon distribution is further constrained by the $J/\psi$ production data. In particular, the momentum fraction carried by gluons is found to be similar for pion and kaon.

Feasibility Study of Pion and Kaon Structure via the Sullivan Process at EicC
EicC could measure pion and kaon structure functions via the Sullivan process with statistical uncertainties below 5% (pion) and 8% (kaon) in most kinematic bins, according to Monte Carlo projections.
