    Measurements of the ratio of Drell-Yan yields from an 800 \rm{GeV/c} proton beam incident on liquid hydrogen and deuterium targets are reported. Approximately 360,000 Drell-Yan muon pairs remained after all cuts on the data. From these data, the ratio of anti-down (dˉ\bar{d}) to anti-up (uˉ\bar{u}) quark distributions in the proton sea is determined over a wide range in Bjorken-xx. These results confirm previous measurements by E866 and extend them to lower xx. From these data, (dˉuˉ)(\bar{d}-\bar{u}) and (dˉuˉ)dx\int(\bar{d}-\bar{u})dx are evaluated for 0.015<x<0.350.015<x<0.35. These results are compared with parameterizations of various parton distribution functions, models and experimental results from NA51, NMC, and HERMES.Comment: 17 pages, 15 figure

    G6K is a C++ and Python library that implements several Sieve algorithms to be used in more advanced lattice reduction tasks. It follows the stateful machine framework from: Martin R. Albrecht and Léo Ducas and Gottfried Herold and Elena Kirshanova and Eamonn W. Postlethwaite and Marc Stevens, The General Sieve Kernel and New Records in Lattice Reduction.
