Nucleon Structure from Lattice QCD
نویسنده
چکیده
Recent advances in lattice field theory, in computer technology and in chiral perturbation theory have enabled lattice QCD to emerge as a powerful quantitative tool in understanding hadron structure. I describe recent progress in the computation of the nucleon form factors and moments of parton distribution functions, before proceeding to describe lattice studies of the Generalized Parton Distributions (GPDs). In particular, I show how lattice studies of GPDs contribute to building a three-dimensional picture of the proton. I conclude by describing the prospects for studying the structure of resonances from lattice QCD.

متن کاملChiral extrapolation of nucleon properties from lattice QCD
Lattice QCD on one side and chiral effective field theory on the other are progressively developing as important tools to deal with the non-perturbative nature of low-energy QCD and the structure of hadrons. At present, however, there is a gap between the relatively large quark masses accessible in full-QCD lattice simulations of nucleon properties and the small quark masses relevant for compar...
متن کاملCalculation of the nucleon axial charge in lattice QCD
Protons and neutrons have a rich structure in terms of their constituents, the quarks and gluons. Understanding this structure requires solving Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). However QCD is extremely complicated, so we must numerically solve the equations of QCD using a method known as lattice QCD. Here we describe a typical lattice QCD calculation by examining our recent computation of the nucl...
