First simultaneous global QCD analysis of kaon and pion parton distributions with lattice QCD constraints

P. C. Barry, Chueng-Ryong Ji, W. Melnitchouk +2

We perform the first simultaneous global QCD analysis of pion and kaon parton distribution functions (PDFs), constrained by pion- and kaon-induced Drell-Yan (DY) and leading neutro…

Impact of Future Dihadron Production Measurements on the Transversity Distributions and Tensor Charges of the Nucleon

Yorgo Sawaya, Christina Cocuzza, Gregory Matousek +6

We assess the impact of future measurements of dihadron production in semi-inclusive deep-inelastic scattering from the CLAS12 and proposed SoLID experiments at Jefferson Lab, as w…

TMDs in the Lens of Generative AI: A Pixel-Based Approach to Partonic Imaging

Marco Zaccheddu, Leonard Gamberg, Wally Melnitchouk +4

This work introduces a novel, nonparametric pixel-based framework for the Bayesian inference and imaging of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions. The methodolog…

Isospin dependence of nuclear EMC effect from global QCD analysis

C. Cocuzza, T. J. Hague, W. Melnitchouk +2

We perform a new global QCD analysis of unpolarized parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the nucleon from proton, deuteron and data, including recent measurements of H…

Pionic gluons from global QCD analysis of experimental and lattice data

William Good, Patrick C. Barry, Huey-Wen Lin +3

We perform the first global QCD analysis of parton distribution functions (PDFs) in the pion, with lattice-QCD data on gluonic pseudo--Ioffe-time distributions fitted simultaneousl…
