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…

Transverse Momentum Distributions from Lattice QCD without Wilson Lines

Yong Zhao

The transverse-momentum-dependent distributions (TMDs), which are defined by gauge-invariant 3D parton correlators with staple-shaped lightlike Wilson lines, can be calculated from…

Non-perturbative Collins-Soper kernel: Chiral quarks and Coulomb-gauge-fixed quasi-TMD

Swagato Mukherjee, Dennis Bollweg, Xiang Gao +1

We present the first lattice QCD calculation of the rapidity anomalous dimension of transverse-momentum-dependent distributions (TMDs), i.e. the Collins-Soper (CS) kernel, employin…

Nonperturbative Collins-Soper Kernel from Chiral Quarks with Physical Masses

Dennis Bollweg, Xiang Gao, Swagato Mukherjee +1

We present a lattice QCD calculation of the rapidity anomalous dimension of quark transverse-momentum-dependent distributions, i.e., the Collins-Soper (CS) kernel, up to transverse…
