Proton isovector helicity PDF at NNLO and the twist-3 moment from lattice QCD at physical quark masses

Xiang Gao, Andrew D. Hanlon, Swagato Mukherjee +5

We present a lattice quantum chromodynamics calculation of the -dependent isovector quark helicity parton distribution function (PDF) of the proton in the large momentum effecti…

Quark-Mass Dependence of Light-Nuclei Masses from Lattice QCD and Trace-Anomaly Contributions to Nuclear Bindings

Debsubhra Chakraborty, Noah Chavez, Xiang Gao +2

We present lattice QCD calculations of the masses of the deuteron, dineutron, Helium-3 and Helium-4 with physical sea quarks and valence quark masses corresponding to pion masses b…

Large-Momentum Effective Theory's Asymptotic Extrapolation vs the Inverse Problem

Jiunn-Wei Chen, Xiang Gao, Jinchen He +10

Large-Momentum Effective Theory (LaMET) is a physics-guided systematic expansion to calculate light-cone parton distributions, including collinear (PDFs) and transverse-momentum-de…

Nucleon Parton Distribution Functions from Boosted Correlations in the Coulomb gauge

Xiang Gao, Jinchen He, Joshua Lin +4

Recently, a novel approach has been proposed to compute parton distributions through the use of boosted correlators fixed in the Coulomb gauge from lattice QCD, within the framewor…

Skewness-dependent moments of the pion GPD from nonlocal quark-bilinear correlators

Xiang Gao, Swagato Mukherjee, Qi Shi +2

We present lattice QCD calculations of the odd Mellin moments of pion valence-quark generalized parton distribution (GPD) up to fifth order, , and for the skewn…

Lattice-QCD validation of hadron mass and trace-anomaly decomposition sum rules

Dennis Bollweg, Heng-Tong Ding, Xiang Gao +2

We present the first lattice-QCD validation of multiple sum rules associated with quark-gluon decomposition of hadron mass by computing all components from first principles. We ach…
