abstract

We present the first lattice-QCD calculation of the isovector polarized parton distribution functions (both helicity and transversity) using the large-momentum effective field theory (LaMET) approach for direct Bjorken-$x$ dependence. We first review the detailed steps of the procedure in the unpolarized case, then generalize to the helicity and transversity cases. We also derive a new mass-correction formulation for all three cases. We then compare the effects of each finite-momentum correction using lattice data calculated at $M_\pi\approx 310$ MeV. Finally, we discuss the implications of these results for the poorly known antiquark structure and predict the sea-flavor asymmetry in the transversely polarized nucleon.

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.

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.
