Since the parton model was introduced by Feynman more than fifty years ago, we have learned much about partonic structure of proton through a large body high-energy experimental data and dedicated global fits. However, calculating observables such as distribution function (PDFs) from fundamental theory strong interactions, QCD, has made limited progress. Recently, authors advocated formalism, large-momentum effective (LaMET), which one can extract physics properties travelling at moderate...

In a large-momentum nucleon state, the matrix element of gauge-invariant Euclidean Wilson line operator accessible from lattice QCD can be related to standard light-cone parton distribution function through effective theory (LaMET) expansion. This relation is given by factorization formula with nontrivial matching coefficient. Using product expansion we derive quasiparton in LaMET, and show that more recently discussed pseudoparton approach also obeys an equivalent formula. Explicit results...

The quasiparton distribution is a spatial correlation of quarks or gluons along the $z$ direction in moving nucleon which enables direct lattice calculations parton functions. It can be defined with nonperturbative renormalization regularization independent momentum subtraction scheme (RI/MOM), then perturbatively related to collinear $\overline{\mathrm{MS}}$ scheme. Here we carry out matching from RI/MOM for quasi-PDF PDF, determining non-singlet quark coefficient at next-to-leading order...

At small transverse momentum $q_T$, transverse-momentum dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) arise as genuinely nonperturbative objects that describe Drell-Yan like processes in hadron collisions well semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering. TMDPDFs naturally depend on the momentum, and associated evolution is determined by Collins-Soper equation. For $q_T \sim \Lambda_\mathrm{QCD}$ corresponding kernel (or anomalous dimension) must be an independent ingredient order to relate...

Large-Momentum Effective Theory (or LaMET) advocated by the present authors provides a direct approach to simulate parton physics in Eulidean lattice QCD theory. Recently, there has been much interest this theory literature, with some questioning its validity and effectiveness. Here we provide discussions aiming at further exposition of approach. In particular, explain why it does not have usual power divergence problem calculations for moments distributions. We show that although Ioffe-time...

The Collins-Soper kernel relates transverse momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) at different energy scales. For small momentum $q_T\sim \Lambda_\text{QCD}$, this is non-perturbative and can only be determined with controlled uncertainties through experiment or first-principles calculations. This work presents the first exploratory determination of using lattice formulation Quantum Chromodynamics. In a quenched calculation, $N_f=0$ scales in range 250 MeV $< q_T < 2$...

Traditionally, lattice QCD computations of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) have been carried out in a symmetric frame, where the transferred momentum is symmetrically distributed between incoming and outgoing hadrons. However, such frames are inconvenient since they require separate calculation for each value transfer, increasing significantly computational cost. In this work, by focusing on quasi-distribution approach, we lay foundation faster more effective calculations GPDs...

Recently, we made significant advancements in improving the computational efficiency of lattice QCD calculations for generalized parton distributions (GPDs). This progress was achieved by adopting matrix elements asymmetric frames, deviating from computationally-expensive symmetric frame typically used, and allowing freedom choice distribution momentum transfer between initial final states. A crucial aspect this approach involves adoption a Lorentz covariant parametrization elements,...
