We demonstrate that gluon transverse-momentum-dependent parton distribution functions (TMDPDFs) can be extracted from lattice calculations of appropriate Euclidean correlations in large-momentum effective theory (LaMET). Based on perturbative calculations of gluon unpolarized and helicity TMDPDFs, we present a matching formula connecting them and their LaMET counterparts, where the latter are renormalized in a scheme facilitating lattice calculations and converted to the MS ¯ scheme. The hard matching kernel is given up to one-loop level. We also show that the perturbative result is independent of the prescription used for the pinch-pole singularity in the relevant correlations. Our results offer a guidance for …


Analytic Continuation Of The Relativistic Three-Particle Scattering Amplitudes, Sebastian M. Dawid, Md Habib E. Islam, Raúl A. Briceño Jan 2023

Analytic Continuation Of The Relativistic Three-Particle Scattering Amplitudes, Sebastian M. Dawid, Md Habib E. Islam, Raúl A. Briceño

We investigate the relativistic scattering of three identical scalar bosons interacting via pair-wise interactions. Extending techniques from the nonrelativistic three-body scattering theory, we provide a detailed and general prescription for solving and analytically continuing integral equations describing the three-body reactions. We use these techniques to study a system with zero angular momenta described by a single scattering length leading to a bound state in a two-body subchannel. We obtain bound-state-particle and three-particle amplitudes in the previously unexplored kinematical regime; in particular, for real energies below elastic thresholds and complex energies in the physical and unphysical Riemann sheets. We extract positions …


Prospects For 𝛾*𝛾* → 𝜋𝜋 Via Lattice Qcd, Raúl Briceño, Andrew W. Jackura, Arkaitz Rodas, Juan V. Guerrero Jan 2023

Prospects For 𝛾*𝛾* → 𝜋𝜋 Via Lattice Qcd, Raúl Briceño, Andrew W. Jackura, Arkaitz Rodas, Juan V. Guerrero

The 𝛾*𝛾* → 𝜋𝜋 scattering amplitude plays a key role in a wide range of phenomena, including understanding the inner structure of scalar resonances as well as constraining the hadronic contributions to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon. In this work, we explain how the infinite-volume Minkowski amplitude can be constrained from finite-volume Euclidean correlation functions. The relationship between the finite-volume Euclidean correlation functions and the desired amplitude holds up to energies where 3𝜋 states can go on shell, and is exact up to exponentially small corrections that scale like 𝒪(e−m𝜋L), where L is the spatial extent …
