Towards unpolarized GPDs from pseudo-distributions

We present an exploration of the unpolarized isovector proton generalized parton distributions (GPDs) H u−d (x, ξ, t) and E u−d (x, ξ, t) in the pseudo-distribution formalism using distillation. Taking advantage of the large kinematic coverage made possible by this approach, we present results on the moments of GPDs up to the order x 3 — including their skewness dependence — at a pion mass m π = 358 MeV and a lattice spacing a = 0.094 fm.

Evolution of parton distribution functions in the short-distance factorization scheme

Lattice QCD offers the possibility of computing parton distributions from first principles, although not in the usual $\overline{MS}$ factorization scheme. Calculations are therefore matched to $\overline{MS}$ using a perturbative procedure which is the source of significant uncertainty within the currently accessible kinematics. We present the possibility of computing the z 2 evolution of non-singlet pseudo-parton distribution functions within the short factorization scheme in a numerically improvable way. The goal is to have tools to evolve a calculation to a scale where perturbative uncertainties are less pronounced. We compare a numerical extraction of the evolution operator from lattice data to the computation of z 2 dependence in perturbation theory. Finally, we discuss how this numerical work may be extended to address the two-scale problem that arises when the Ioffe time range must be made large to extend the reach of the calculation of the pseudo-PDF to smaller values of the momentum fraction.
