Quark-mass effects in gradient-flow observables through next-to-next-to-leading order in QCD

Robert V. Harlander, Robert H. Mason

We provide results for the vacuum expectation values of the flowed action density, the quark condensate, and the quark kinetic operator in the gradient-flow formalism. We work in $…

Short-flow-time expansion of non-singlet twist-two operators at next-to-next-to-leading order QCD

Robert V. Harlander, Jonas T. Kohnen, Andrea Shindler

The gradient-flow formalism provides a framework for the direct determination of moments of parton distribution functions (PDFs) from lattice QCD calculations. Their conversion fro…

Gradient flow for parton distribution functions: first application to the pion

Anthony Francis, Patrick Fritzsch, Robert V. Harlander +9

Parton distribution functions (PDFs) are central to precision QCD phenomenology. Their Mellin moments can be computed on the lattice, but direct determinations using local operator…

Renormalized quark masses using gradient flow

Matthew Black, Robert V. Harlander, Anna Hasenfratz +2

We propose a new and simple method for determining the renormalized quark masses from lattice simulations. Renormalized quark masses are an important input to many phenomenological…

A new approach to quark mass determination using the gradient flow

Hiromasa Takaura, Robert V. Harlander, Fabian Lange

We propose a new method to determine quark masses using ratios of the vacuum-expectation values (VEVs) of flowed quark bilinear operators. They can be expressed as functions of the…

The life cycle of scientific principles -- a template for characterizing physical principles

Radin Dardashti, Enno Fischer, Robert Harlander

Scientific principles can undergo various developments. While philosophers of science have acknowledged that such changes occur, there is no systematic account of the development o…
