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…

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 Benchmark of Proton Helicity and Flavor-Dependent Unpolarized Transverse Momentum-Dependent Parton Distribution Functions at Physical Quark Masses

Dennis Bollweg, Xiang Gao, Swagato Mukherjee +1

We present the first lattice QCD calculations of the isovector helicity transverse momentum-dependent parton distribution function (TMDPDF) and the flavor-dependent unpolarized TMD…

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…

Transverse-momentum-dependent pion structures from lattice QCD: Collins-Soper kernel, soft factor, TMDWF, and TMDPDF

Dennis Bollweg, Xiang Gao, Jinchen He +2

We present the first lattice quantum chromodynamics (QCD) calculation of the pion valence-quark transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution function (TMDPDF) within the frame…
