Extraction of Parton Distributions from Lattice Qcd
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review the calculation of moments of both the polarized and unpolarized parton distribution functions of the nucleon in lattice QCD, and in particular their extrapolation to the physical region. We also discuss the reconstruction of the x dependence of the valence quark distributions in the nucleon from a finite number of lattice moments.

Strategies to Extract Generalized Parton Distributions from Data
A number of deeply virtual exclusive experiments will allow us to access the Generalized Parton Distributions which are embedded in the complex amplitudes for such processes. The extraction from experiment is particularly challenging both because of the large number of kinematical variables and observables to be pinned down in each experimental analysis and because, at variance with inclusive e...
متن کاملGeneralized Parton Distributions in Full Lattice QCD ∗
We present recent results on generalized parton distributions from dynamical lattice QCD calculations. Our set of twelve different combinations of couplings and quark masses allows for a preliminary study of the pion mass dependence of the transverse nucleon structure.
متن کاملGeneralized parton distributions for the pion in chiral perturbation theory
Generalized parton distributions provide a unified parameterization of hadron structure and allow one to combine information from many different observables. Lattice QCD calculations already provide important input to determine these distributions and hold the promise to become even more important in the future. To this end, a reliable extrapolation of lattice calculations to the physical quark...
متن کاملExtraction of the Proton Parton Density Functions from the Combined HERA I Data using NLO QCD Fit
The precise combined HERA-I data set, of neutral and charged current inclusive crosssections for ep and e−p scattering, is used as the sole input for a next-to-leading order (NLO) QCD parton distribution function (PDF) fit. The consistent treatment of systematic uncertainties in the combined data and the use of an improved theoretical model that takes into account the quark masses result in a n...

This talk presents results from the QCDSF-UKQCD collaboration for moments of leading twist generalized parton distributions in two-flavor lattice QCD based on O(a) improved Wilson Fermions. We study helicity independent and helicity flip GPDs with a focus on densities of quarks in the transverse plane.
