Description
Isospin violating valence and sea distributions are evaluated due to QED leading ${\cal{O}}{(α)}$ corrections to the standard QCD evolution equations. Unique perturbative predictions are obtained within the radiative parton model, and confirm earlier results. Nonperturbative contributions have been estimated and depend on a single free parameter chosen to be the current quark mass.The relevance of our predictions for extracting $\sin^2 θ_W$ from DIS $ν(\barν)N$ data (`NuTeV anomaly') is discussed as well.
