Universality of the Collins-Soper kernel in lattice calculations
arXiv:2302.06502
Abstract
The Collins-Soper (CS) kernel is a nonperturbative function that characterizes the rapidity evolution of transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) and wave functions. In this Letter, we calculate the CS kernel for pion and proton targets and for quasi-TMDPDFs of leading and next-to-leading power. The calculations are carried out on the CLS ensemble H101 with dynamical clover-improved Wilson fermions. Our analyses demonstrate the consistency of different lattice extractions of the CS kernel for mesons and baryons, as well as for twist-two and twist-three operators, even though lattice artifacts could be significant. This consistency corroborates the universality of the lattice-determined CS kernel and suggests that a high-precision determination of it is in reach.
