abstract

We present a determination of the non-singlet transversity parton distribution function (PDF) of the nucleon, normalized with respect to the tensor charge at $\mu^2=2$ GeV$^2$ from lattice quantum chromodynamics. We apply the pseudo-distribution approach, using a gauge ensemble with a lattice spacing of 0.094 fm and the light quark mass tuned to a pion mass of 358 MeV. We extract the transversity PDF from the analysis of the short-distance behavior of the Ioffe-time pseudo-distribution using the leading-twist next-to-leading order (NLO) matching coefficients calculated for transversity. We reconstruct the $x$-dependence of the transversity PDF through an expansion in a basis of Jacobi polynomials in order to reduce the PDF ansatz dependence. Within the limitations imposed by a heavier-than-physical pion mass and a fixed lattice spacing, we present a comparison of our estimate for the valence transversity PDF with the recent global fit results based on single transverse spin asymmetry. We find the intrinsic nucleon sea to be isospin symmetric with respect to transversity.

    One neural network simultaneously fits LaMET and short-distance-expansion lattice data to reconstruct light-cone PDFs and zero-skewness GPDs of the nucleon.

  3. Gradient flow for parton distribution functions: first application to the pion

    hep-lat 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Pion PDF moment ratios up to <x^5> were extracted from lattice QCD with gradient flow and agree with phenomenological fits.

  4. Analytic decomposition of two-body electroweak processes with left-hand cuts

    hep-lat 2026-07 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    An on-shell decomposition of 2+J o2 electroweak amplitudes isolates OPE poles, logs, and triangle singularities, leaving only smooth short-distance functions.

  5. Semi-inclusive pion electroproduction at the highest transverse momenta

    hep-ph 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Direct pion production dominates at high transverse momentum in semi-inclusive electroproduction, and its cross section factorizes to allow extraction of high-x PDFs and the pion distribution amplitude.
