abstract

Parton distribution functions (PDFs) are nonperturbative quantities describing the relation between a hadron and quarks and gluons within it. We propose to extract PDFs from QCD global analysis of "data" generated by lattice QCD calculations of good "lattice cross sections", which are basically single-hadron matrix elements that are lattice QCD calculable and perturbative QCD factorizable into the PDFs. To demonstrate the existence of good "lattice cross sections", we take quasi-quark distribution introduced by Ji [1] as a case study to show that it could be factorized into the PDFs to all orders in perturbation theory if it can be multiplicatively renormalized. We calculate the factorized coefficients at the next-to-leading order in $\alpha_s$.

Quasi Parton Distribution Functions in Covariant Quark Models

hep-ph · 2026-05-12 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

In gauge-free quark models, quasi-PDFs converge to PDFs with proven sum rules, and the Covariant Parton Model supplies closed-form small-x results that match a Wandzura-Wilczek approximation for the quark energy-momentum tensor form factor.

PDF evolution in alternative factorisation schemes

hep-ph · 2026-06-22 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Derives NLO splitting functions and anomalous dimensions for PDFs in alternative factorization schemes and interprets their leading x-behavior as a modified effective evolution scale.

Parton distribution functions of $\Delta^+$ on the lattice

hep-lat · 2019-07-23 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Renormalized matrix elements for the unpolarized quasi-PDF of the Δ⁺ are computed on two N_f=2+1+1 twisted mass lattice ensembles with pion masses 250 and 330 MeV using momentum smearing.
