Double Distributions And Pseudodistributions, A. V. Radyushkin
Double Distributions And Pseudodistributions, A. V. Radyushkin
Physics Faculty Publications
We describe the approach to lattice extraction of generalized parton distributions (GPDs) that is based on the use of the double distribution (DD) formalism within the pseudodistribution framework. The advantage of using DDs is that GPDs obtained in this way have the mandatory polynomiality property, a nontrivial correlation between 𝓍 and ξ dependences of GPDs. Another advantage of using DDs is that the D-term appears as an independent entity in the DD formalism rather than a part of GPDs H and E. We relate the ξ dependence of GPDs to the width of the α profiles of the corresponding DDs …

We perform a new global analysis of spin-dependent parton distribution functions with the inclusion of Ioffe time pseudodistributions computed in lattice QCD (LQCD), which are directly sensitive to the gluon helicity distribution, Δg. These lattice data have an analogous relationship to parton distributions as do experimental cross sections, and can be readily included in global analyses. We focus in particular on the constraining capability of current LQCD data on the sign of Δg at intermediate parton momentum fractions x, which was recently brought into question by analysis of data in the absence of parton positivity constraints. …
