abstract

Parton physics, when formulated as light-front correlations, are difficult to study non-perturbatively, despite the promise of light-front quantization. Recently an alternative approach to partons have been proposed by re-visiting original Feynman picture of a hadron moving at asymptotically large momentum. Here I formulate the approach in the language of an effective field theory for a large hadron momentum $P$ in lattice QCD, LaMET for short. I show that using this new effective theory, parton properties, including light-front parton wave functions, can be extracted from lattice observables in a systematic expansion of $1/P$, much like that the parton distributions can be extracted from the hard scattering data at momentum scales of a few GeV.

The Collins-Soper kernel from a vacuum soft function

hep-lat · 2026-06-17 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

The Collins-Soper kernel is extracted from lattice computations of a vacuum soft function, showing rapidity dependence consistent with Collins-Soper evolution, comparable errors to hadronic methods, and saturation at large transverse separations.

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.

Inverse problem in the LaMET framework

hep-lat · 2025-04-24 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Analysis of non-perturbative lattice data shows that the inverse problem in LaMET introduces significant uncertainties in parton distributions, especially from harmonics around λ=5-15, and that exact asymptotic decay matters little in the currently applicable x range.

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.

Kinematic enhancement for nucleon interpolators

hep-lat · 2026-06-01 · unverdicted · novelty 4.0

Kinematically enhanced nucleon interpolators improve precision of renormalized quark matrix elements by an order of magnitude at 2.5 GeV with no observed lattice spacing dependence on CLS ensembles.
