Heavy-Meson Bag Parameters using Gradient Flow

Matthew Black, Robert V. Harlander, Jonas T. Kohnen +4

We demonstrate the use of the gradient flow combined with the short flow-time expansion (GF+SFTX) as a renormalization procedure for four-quark operator matrix elements and associa…

Bag Parameters for Heavy Meson Lifetimes

Matthew Black, Robert V. Harlander, Jonas T. Kohnen +4

We calculate the dimension-six four-quark matrix elements describing heavy-meson lifetime ratios using the gradient flow with its short flow-time expansion as a renormaliza…

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…

Moments of parton distributions functions of the pion from lattice QCD using gradient flow

Anthony Francis, Patrick Fritzsch, Rohith Karur +7

We present a nonperturbative determination of the pion valence parton distribution function (PDF) moment ratios

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…

Probing higher moments of pion parton distribution functions

Anthony Francis, Patrick Fritzsch, Rohith Karur +7

We present the first numerical investigation of the method proposed in Ref. [1] to utilize gradient flow to obtain precise determinations of higher moments of PDFs from lattice QCD…
