We report the first lattice QCD calculation of pion valence quark distribution with next-to-next-to-leading order perturbative matching correction, which is done using two fine lattices with spacings $a=0.04$ fm and $0.06$ fm and valence pion mass $m_\pi=300$ MeV, at boost momentum as large as $2.42$ GeV. As a crucial step to control the systematics, we renormalize the pion valence quasi distribution in the recently proposed hybrid scheme, which features a Wilson-line mass subtraction at large distances in coordinate space, and develop a procedure to match it to the $\overline{\rm MS}$ scheme. We demonstrate that the renormalization and the perturbative matching in Bjorken-$x$ space yield a reliable determination of the valence quark distribution for $0.03\lesssim x \lesssim 0.80$ with 5-20\% uncertainties.

  1. Quasi Parton Distribution Functions in Covariant Quark Models

    hep-ph 2026-05 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-momen...

  2. Gluon mass and small-x dynamics in hadrons

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Introduces a gluon mass and auxiliary scalar field to cancel small-x divergences in the front-form QCD Hamiltonian, yielding confinement for heavy quarks as the mass parameter is sent to zero.

  3. Inverse problem in the LaMET framework

    hep-lat 2025-04 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 ...
