Global QCD analysis of spin PDFs in the proton with high- and lattice constraints

C. Cocuzza, N. T. Hunt-Smith, W. Melnitchouk +2

We perform a comprehensive global QCD analysis of spin-dependent parton distribution functions (PDFs), combining all available data on inclusive and semi-inclusive deep-inelastic s…

Reflections on Chiral Symmetry within QCD

Anthony W Thomas

That chiral symmetry is a crucial feature of the strong force was realized before the discovery of Quantum Chromodynamics. However, the full power it exerts on the structure of the…

Constraints on the model from global QCD analysis

X. G. Wang, N. T. Hunt-Smith, W. Melnitchouk +2

We perform the first global QCD analysis of electron-nucleon deep-inelastic scattering and related high-energy data including the beyond the Standard Model gauge boson…

On the resolution of the sign of gluon polarization in the proton

N. T. Hunt-Smith, C. Cocuzza, W. Melnitchouk +3

Recently the possible existence of negative gluon helicity, , has been observed to be compatible with existing empirical constraints, including from jet production in polarized…

Accelerating Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling with diffusion models

N. T. Hunt-Smith, W. Melnitchouk, F. Ringer +3

Global fits of physics models require efficient methods for exploring high-dimensional and/or multimodal posterior functions. We introduce a novel method for accelerating Markov Ch…

Isovector EMC effect from global QCD analysis with MARATHON data

C. Cocuzza, C. E. Keppel, H. Liu +4

We report the results of a Monte Carlo global QCD analysis of unpolarized parton distribution functions (PDFs), including for the first time constraints from ratios of He to $^…

Do short-range correlations cause the nuclear EMC effect in the deuteron?

X. G. Wang, A. W. Thomas, W. Melnitchouk

The relative contributions to the valence nuclear EMC effect in the deuteron arising from off-shell effects and Fermi motion are examined in models which include nuclear binding an…
