First constraints on the nonperturbative gluon Collins-Soper kernel
Artur Avkhadiev, Yang Fu, Phiala E. Shanahan +2
The gluon Collins-Soper kernel, which encodes the rapidity evolution of transverse-momentum-dependent gluon distributions, is constrained for the first time in the nonperturbative…

Kinematically-enhanced interpolating operators for boosted hadrons
Rui Zhang, Anthony V. Grebe, Daniel C. Hackett +2
We propose to use interpolating operators for lattice quantum chromodyanmics (QCD) calculations of highly-boosted pions and nucleons with kinematically-enhanced ground-state overla…

Collins-Soper Kernel in the QCD Instanton Vacuum
Wei-Yang Liu, Ismail Zahed, Yong Zhao
We outline a general framework for evaluating the non-perturbative soft functions in the QCD instanton vacuum. In particular, from the soft function we derive the Collins-Soper (CS…
