Transverse Momentum Distributions from Lattice QCD
Nucleons, i.e., protons and neutrons, are composed of quarks and gluons, whose interactions are described by the theory of quantum chromodynamics (QCD), part of the standard model of particle physics. This work applies lattice QCD to compute quark momentum distributions in the nucleon. The calculations make use of lattice data generated on supercomputers that has already been successfully emplo...
متن کاملHelicity Dependent and Independent Generalized Parton Distributions of the Nucleon in Lattice QCD
A complete description of the nucleon structure in terms of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) at twist 2 level requires the measurement/computation of the eight functions H , E, H̃ , Ẽ, HT , ET , H̃T and ẼT , all depending on the three variables x, ξ and t. In this talk, we present and discuss our first steps in the framework of lattice QCD towards this enormous task. Dynamical lattice QCD ...
متن کاملTransverse momentum dependent quark densities from Lattice QCD
We study transverse momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDs) with non-local operators in lattice QCD, using MILC/LHPC lattices. We discuss the basic concepts of the method, including renormalization of the gauge link. Results obtained with a simplified operator geometry show visible dipole deformations of spin-dependent quark momentum densities.
متن کاملTransverse structure of nucleon parton distributions from lattice QCD.
This work presents the first calculation in lattice QCD of three moments of spin-averaged and spin-polarized generalized parton distributions in the proton. It is shown that the slope of the associated generalized form factors decreases significantly as the moment increases, indicating that the transverse size of the light-cone quark distribution decreases as the momentum fraction of the struck...
متن کاملGeneralized transverse momentum dependent parton distributions of the nucleon
Parton distributions play an important role in the QCD description of hard scattering processes. In particular, generalized parton distributions (GPDs) and transverse momentum dependent parton distributions (TMDs) have extensively been studied during the last decade. We focus here on the most general form of quark-quark correlation functions, the socalled generalized transverse momentum depende...
